[Verse 1]

The darkness is pierced by the morning sun

The light is beautiful, and I'm mesmerized by it

But soon I can't open my eyes

But eventually, I get used to it

[Pre-Chorus]

Surrounded by precious things

The heart turns into stone

[Chorus]

Hardly the stuff of a bedtime story

A happy ending is just a snapshot in time

Life is a journey, not a destination

Enjoy the ride, with ups and downs

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

My friend enjoyed Paradise for the palate

Holding a platinum knife, with sapphire gloves

But his eyes did not shine

What he needs is an economic overthrow

[Pre-Chorus]

Surrounded by precious things

My heart turns into stone

[Chorus]

Hardly the stuff of a bedtime story

A happy ending is just a snapshot in time

Life is a journey, not a destination

Enjoy the ride, with ups and downs

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]

Hardly the stuff of a bedtime story

Sometimes you have to play a supporting role, oh!

But what matters is that your eyes shine

In the moment

[Outro]

Hardly the stuff of a bedtime story

A happy ending is just a snapshot in time

Life is a journey, not a destination

Enjoy the ride, with ups and downs
