I won't dream of a life that'll never be
There's something more I could want, but it's not for me
They'll break our will and they'll stab our backs
There's no world where we're free from attack
I won't dream of a life that'll never be
Never be
I see my mother in the mirror
I hope that she'll see me
See me as I have always been
A daughter to turn to, to learn her every way
Now she can't even recognize my face
I won't dream of a life that'll never be
There's something more I could want, but it's not for me
They'll break our will and they'll stab our backs
There's no world where we're free from attack
I won't dream of a life that'll never be
Never be
I see my husband in a crystal ball
I hope that he'll see me
See me as I have always been
A lover to hold him, to paint that picket fence
I guess I'll just settle for-for being friends
I see my baby when I close my eyes
I hope that she'll see me
See me as I have always been
A mother to turn to, who loves her as she is
How can I miss someone that I haven't even met?
I won't dream of a life that'll never be
There's something more I could want, but it's not for me
They'll break our will and they'll stab our backs
There's no world where we're free from attack
I won't dream of a life that'll never be
Never be
