Time
Time makes a mockery
Of all your dreams
This is a certainty

You would cry
If you knew

Life
Life has no alibis
For all it's crimes
This I can testify

You would cry
If you knew
What it could do to you
You would cry if you knew

Chorus:
Am I a fool to expect a miracle?
Such a fool to be so gullible?
Ooh I need a miracle
Tonight

Once we were innocent
But all our lives
We've been taught to repent

I would cry
'cause I knew
What you were going through
I would cry
'cause I knew

(chorus)

Expect a miracle
