This Is the Life - Dream Theater

In the heart of your most solemn barren night

When your soul’s turned inside out

Have you questioned all the madness you invite

What your life is all about

Some of us choose to live gracefully

Some can get caught in the maze

And lose their way home

This is the life we belong to

Our gift divine

Have you ever wished that you were someone else

Traded places in your mind

It’s only a waste of your time

Some of us choose to live gracefully

Some can get caught in the maze

And lose their way home

This is the life we belong to

Our gift divine

Feed the illusion you dream about

Cast out the monsters inside

Life begins with an empty slate

Fragile left in the hands of fate

Driven by love and crushed by hate

Until the day

The gift is gone

And shadows remain

Some of us choose to live gracefully

Some can get caught in the maze

And lose their way home

Memories will fade

Time races on

What will they say

After you’re gone

This is the life we belong to

Our gift divine

Our gift divine
