Pleasant Dreams Letra

when we were young we would dress like heroes that we loved in our minds we could visit far off lands and we'd vow that the day never would it come when we'd need more than stones in our hands yeah these days go by fast as we race to the top find the quick fix shortcuts and play to win we no longer breathe and barely exist and we fear for the new day to begin yeah we fear for the new day to begin. so i close my eyes and bid you my farewell and i wish you pleasant dreams and i wish you pleasant dreams yeah yeah so pleasant dreams to you my friend to the one i know life's done well with all of the riches one could ever dream though cloaked in envy's spell that more it could never be enough and too little is much worse than it seems so i close my eyes and bid you my farewell and I wish you pleasant dreams and i wish you pleasant dreams yeah yeah tonight i go to bed in the cool summers air for tonight i walked outside and looked at God i saw his face in the stars and the moon and inside i feel his peace
