[Verse 1: Hippie (Arjen Anthony Lucassen)]

Was this a dream I just had?

I have my doubts

I can't make out the truth

From the lies here inside

What kind of trip have I been on?

Where did I go?

I'd like to know just why

Did it feel so damn real


[Verse 2: Futureman (Edward Reekers)]

There's something strange going on

I don't know why

It's something I can't place

An open space, a shrouded face

As if my memory files

Have been erased

And then replaced by lies

False replies, clouded skies


[Chorus: Hippie & Futureman (Arjen Anthony Lucassen & Edward Reekers)]

A secret yearning lurks inside

Like a dream trying to hide

Another time, another space

An empty feeling haunts my brain

A strange void I can't explain

Another time, another space

[Verse 3: Roman & Knight (Edwin Balogh & Damian Wilson)]

I've been relieved of all my pain!

I've been reborn

A mighty storm has raged

And my fears disappeared!

I've found the Grail here within

In a magic dream

I have seen a world

Of make-belief, of joy and grief!


[Chorus: Ensemble]

A secret yearning lurks inside

Like a dream trying to hide

Another time, another space

An empty feeling haunts my brain

A strange void I can't explain

Another time, another space
