I've had a hard time living with my decisions,
Leaving a piece of myself, oh, wherever I go,
I've lived a fine line on the brink of pleasure and pain,
And, oh, I've come to grips with all my shame.
And, as the winds of Heaven blow through the shadows of my mind, I see my house of dreams, of dreams.
House of dreams - knocking at your door,
House of dreams - need to find what I'm searching for in my house of dreams.
See an old man, so desperate and under the gun, oh,
Sometimes I look in the mirror and see myself in him,
Hear the voices of the white-collared social sons tell tales of life I just couldn't live.
So many people putting me down, try to change me, turn me around,
Their lips move, but I don't hear the sound.
House of dreams - ain't no mountain too high,
House of dreams - gonna stay there until I die,
House of dreams - got to set myself free,
House of dreams - 'cause my dreams, they are a part of me,
Don't let them fade away.
When it's all said and done...
As the sun sets down on me, and I see what I've become, what I've become.
House of dreams - ain't no mountain too high,
House of dreams - gonna stay there 'til the day I die,
House of dreams - I've got to set myself free,
House of dreams - judge my dreams, they are a part of me,
In my house of dreams.
I had a hard time living with my decisions, but I'll never let my dreams fade away.
