LYRICS:
(Verse One)
There’s no knowing what lies ahead,
In the vast eternal beyond.
When we breathe our last in our death beds,
We’ll be judged for the ills we spawned.

(Chorus One)
For what dreams may come.
When our time here is done.
In that sleep of death will we get real rest?
For that’s our eternal quest,
From where no trav’ler returns!

(Verse Two)
Slings and arrows rip our souls,
We bear whips and scorns of time.
In this life we’re never whole.
Giving us life was nearly a crime.

(Chorus Two)
For what dreams may come.
When our time here is done.
In that sleep of death will we get real rest?
For that’s our eternal quest,
From where no trav’ler returns!

(Verse Three)
A sea of troubles awaits at birth,
And through our time here on earth.
An undiscovered country we face at death,
That we dread when we draw last breath.

(Chorus Three)
For what dreams may come.
When our time here is done.
In that sleep of death will we get real rest?
For that’s our eternal quest,
From where no trav’ler returns!
