[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
