High Hopes, by Pink Floyd Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had begun Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway Do they still meet there by the Cut There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The nights of wonder Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by the force of some inner tide At a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon Though down this road we've been so many times The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river Forever and ever And "The Trace of Things That Have No Words" by Blaze Bayley Nothing can numb this pain, nothing can fill this void Nothing can heal this wound, nothing can hide this scar Nothing is what I have, nothing is all that's left Nothing is what I am, if I am without you Looking down at my feet, why do they move at all? Looking down at my hands, why do they work at all? I hear the words I speak, why can I speak at all? If I can't speak to you, why can I speak at all? I won't give up this pain, the pain of what I lost I don't want to be healed, why do they even try? Pain is all I have left to tell me this was real Pain is the only thing left I can feel My scars I show you know, my scars They prove my life was real, my scars Here on my face, here on my arms Lines from a play, you were the star You see them now, you see my truth The way I lived, I lived for you These scars proved my life was real Now you can see my face, now you can hear my words Now can you understand how I traced out my world? Why must I face this life? Why am I here alone? Where did the future go? Why am I here alone? My scars I show you know, my scars They prove my life was real, my scars Here on my face, here on my arms Lines from a play, you were the star You see them now, you see my truth The way I lived, I lived for you These scars proved my life was real
