So far his life had seemed a battle not quite worth the fight

His dreams were turning sour, lingering doubts to fill the wastes of night

The hour was late; he clutched a sweat-soaked pillow

Tried to shake the dread, yeah

If only he could summon dreams of yesteryear, before they fled

Beyond his head

Why only tears, why only sorrow

Oh, you only have to find

A way to free your mind and you'll see

Everything you hoped it could be

In Vain, he tries to clear his mind but cannot

So no where to go

The clock is ticking time, the years have fled, and now it shows

That time has robbed him of the joys of youth

As all his plans unwind, yeah

Yet time remains and so he grabs at life with one thing on his mind

What will he find?

Why only tears, why only sorrow

Oh, you only have to find

A way to free your mind and you'll see

Everything you hoped it could be
