You always said someday you would travel (walking by the bay)
And there you’d finally find yourself (forever you would stay)
But as the time passed, it seemed you were too busy (couldn’t find the way)
Now where’s the part you lost? (it’s with me every day)
No one can know how hard it is just to try to be a human (drag that ball and chain)
How much devotion and work it takes to be something like normal (protect the family name)
The closest we ever were was when you told me your dream (laughing in the rain)
Did you know that that dream took me away? (how can I explain?)
Blessed are the hearts and the souls that learn to bend while growing new each day (this could be your day)
They learn to grow back but never the same way (singing all the way)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I hear the sounds of dreamers all around me (like a moth to flame)
Telling me how and what to feel (they don’t know my name)
There’s not a one who can touch the place that you touched (it’s just not the same)
Then again, no one else can make it real (nature of the game)
I swear there once was a time when I could say I know I’ll find my way (once I’m over this)
That’s when I’m ready at last to give up on the past for one day (on a day like this)
You had a dream and although you didn’t mean for it to (can you picture this?)
It keeps me looking for what might still be true (I still believe in this)
No deceit, no defeat, no retreat, no conceit can ever stop me on my way (no way, no way)
Though I came close when I thought love was surrender (singing all the way)
Baby, baby, baby (yes, I was always there for you)
Baby, baby, baby (listening so carefully to you)
Baby, baby, baby (yes, and I’m still right here for you)
Baby, baby, baby (living what you could never do)
Baby, baby, baby (yes, I was always there for you)
Baby, baby, baby (listening so carefully to you)
