I dream of changes
I change my dreams
I feel so restless,
Sometimes I get so mean
Why should I bother
Finding the will,
When every movement I make
Just seems like I'm standing still?
[chorus:]
The shell of a fighter,
The shell of a man,
The weight of a lifetime -
Waiting for your healing hands
And still I rise,
And still I dream,
And still I feel,
And I wait
[chorus 1 repeat]
[chorus 2:]
Why don't you hold me
When I need you to?
Why don't you touch me
When I reach for you?
[chorus 3:]
Why don't you hurt for me
Like I do for you?
Why don't you dream of me -
Dream like I'm dreaming of you?
[chorus 1 x2]
The shell of a fighter
And still I rise,
And still I dream,
And still I feel,
And I wait
The shell of a fighter
