Guns that cross the street You never know who you might meet Who's in disguise Ooh as you blow a storm There's no one there to keep you warm It's no surprise There's something in my eyes It's a miracle It's a miracle It's a miracle It's a miracle It's a miracle It's a miracle And dreams are made of emotion Dance with the counterfeit The plastic smiles and micro heat I'll meet you there Run to the edge of town Where hollywood lay its footprints down Monroe was there But do you really care It's a miracle It's a miracle It's a miracle It's a miracle It's a miracle It's a miracle And dreams are made of emotion Guns that cross the street You never know who you might meet Who's in disguise Ooh as you blow a storm There's no one there to keep you warm It's no surprise There's something in my eyes It's a miracle It's a miracle It's a miracle It's a miracle It's a miracle It's a miracle And dreams are made of emotion Cry it's a miracle Cry it's a miracle Cry it's a miracle Cry it's a miracle

There's a day when all hearts will be broken When a shadow will cast out the light And our eyes cry a million tears Help won't arrive There's a day when all courage collapses And our friends turn and leave us behind Creatures of darkness will triumph The sun won't rise When we've lost all hope And succumb to fear As the skies rain blood And the end draws near I may fall But not like this -it won't be by your hand I may fall Not this place, not today I may fall Bring it all-it's not enough to take me down I may fall There's a place where we'll stand outnumbered Where the wolves and the soul-less will rise In the time of our final moments Every dream dies There's a place where our shields will lay shattered And the fears all that's left in our hearts Strength and our courage have run out We fall apart When we lose our faith And forsake our friends When the moon is gone And we reach our end I may fall There's a moment that changes a life when We do something that no one else can And the path that we've taken will lead us One final stand There's a moment we make a decision Not to cower and crash to the ground The moment we face our worst demons Our courage found When we stand with friends And we won't retreat As we stare down death Then the taste is sweet I may fall But not like this -it won't be by your hand I may fall Not this place, not today I may fall Bring it all-it's not enough to take me down I may fall I may fall I may fall I may I may fall
