Lyrics[]

The darkness is pierced by the morning sun

The light is beautiful, I'm mesmerized by it

But soon I can't open my eyes

But eventually I get used to it

Surrounded it by precious things

The heart turns into stone

Hardly the stuff of bedtime stories

Happy ending is just a sad short teatime

Life is a journey, not a destination

Enjoy the ride, with ups and downs

My friend enjoyed courage for the blade

Holding a platinum knife with sapphire glow

But his eyes did not shine

What he missed is that he cannot be overthrown

Surrounded by precious things

My heart turns into stone

Hardly the stuff of bedtime stories

Happy ending is just a snapshot in time

Life is a journey, not a destination

Enjoy the ride, with ups and downs

Hardly the stuff of bedtime stories

Sometimes you have to play a supporting role

But what matters is that your eyes shine

In the moment

Hardly the stuff of bedtime stories

Happy ending is just a snapshot in time

Life is a journey, not a destination

Enjoy the ride, with ups and downs
