Never Be

I won't dream of a life that'll never be There's something more I could want, but it's not for me They'll break our will and they'll stab our backs There's no world where we're free from attack I won't dream of a life that'll never be Never be I see my mother in the mirror I hope that she'll see me See me as I have always been A daughter to turn to, to learn her every way Now she can't even recognize my face I won't dream of a life that'll never be There's something more I could want, but it's not for me They'll break our will and they'll stab our backs There's no world where we're free from attack I won't dream of a life that'll never be Never be I see my husband in a crystal ball I hope that he'll see me See me as I have always been A lover to hold him, to paint that picket fence I guess I'll just settle for—for being friends I see my baby when I close my eyes I hope that she'll see me See me as I have always been A mother to turn to, who loves her as she is How can I miss someone that I haven't even met? I won't dream of a life that'll never be There's something more I could want, but it's not for me They'll break our will and they'll stab our backs There's no world where we're free from attack I won't dream of a life that'll never be Never be
