Time
Time makes a mockery
of all your dreams
This is a certainty

You would cry
if you knew

Life
Life has no alibis
for all it's crimes
This I can testify

You would cry
if you knew
what it could do to you
You would cry if you knew

Chorus:
Am I a fool to expect a miracle?
such a fool to be so gullible?
ooh I need a miracle
Tonight...

Once we were innocent
but all our lives
we've been taught to repent

I would cry
'cause I knew
what you were going through
I would cry
'cause I knew

(chorus)

Expect a miracle.
