lyrics

I'm riding on my bike
through mountains tall and green
villages that I pass
I'm sure I once have seen

but it seems I'm only dreaming
all the world just seems a lie
yes it seems I'm only dreaming
'cause it's not there whenI open up my eyes

I'm tied to a tree
in a forest deep and wide
a man points his gun at me
and I'm sure I'm gonna die

but it seems I'm only dreaming
all the world is bloody lies
yes it seems I'm only dreaming
'cause I'm still there when I open up my eyes

(solo)

we're walking side by side
when we travel along the sea
you take my hand and say
that you are in love with me

but I know I'm only dreaming
all your words will be just lies
yes I know I'm only dreaming
'cause you won't be there when I open up my eyes

when I open up my eyes
