Something about this is precious, something about this is sad
Something about this is better, than I've ever had
Hard and lean, you know what I mean?
How do the roots become tangled? Why does the spirit grow tired?
Where is the key to your kingdom? Yes that's my desire.

Chorus:

There are those who live to count the cost
And then those who count themselves content
I see heaven wrapped up in a box
It is you come back to love again, in a dream, this living dream.

Up in a heap I'm not bothered, down in the dumps I'm okay
Here in my heart you're the best road, that I'll ever take, I'm serene yeh.

Chorus:

There are those who live to take the chance
And then more who find themselves content
I see heaven mapped out in advance
It is you and that's my journeys end, in a dream, this living dream.

I'm trying to hang on to the essence, I'm feeling more faint by the day
It took such a long time to get it, I don't want to see it erased

Chorus:

There are those who live to count the cost
And then more who count themselves content
I see heaven wrapped up in a box
It is you come back to love again, in a dream, this living dream
This living dream.
