Oh captain, my captain

We are dreaming of tomorrow, and tomorrow isn't coming. We are dreaming of a glory that we don't really want. We are dreaming of a new day when the new day's here already. We are running from the battle when it's one that must be fought.

And still we sleep.

We are listening for the calling but never really heeding. Hoping for the future when the future's only plans. Dreaming of the wisdom that we are dodging daily. Praying for a saviour when salvation's in our hands.

And still we sleep.

And still we dream, And still we fear, And still we pray, And still we sleep.

Oh captain, my captain.

One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.
