[Verse 1]
              Am
Stranger in a crowd
                    C
Treading fire after dark
            Em
Lost in a city
               D
Pulsing to the sound
                    Am
Of the spirit and soul
               C
A city that is breathing
                    Em
Living through the cables
                  D
Alive across the wires
               Am
Faces without names
                   C
Playing devils and angels
                 Em
Lit up by the strobes
            D
Moving hypnotized
                  Am
I caught your reflection
                 C
In the neon on glass
                  Em
An electric silhouette
                     D
Against a static sky


[Chorus]
                     Am
It's a beautiful dream
                  C
It's a beautiful life
                Em
It's just a reflection
                     D
A world that must survive
                       Am
We're children of the past
                   C
Who look beyond today
                 Em
Designing the present
                D
So when is the future
                 Am
We live in a dream
                  C
Keeping visions alive
                Em
It's just a reflection

A world that never dies
                Am
The image we create
                   C
In our image we design
                  Em
It's a beautiful life
                D
So when is the future

[Verse 2]
               Am
Time moves so fast
               C
In a single direction
                    Em
Fighting with the present
                D
Racing from the past
                      Am
We're searching for something
                     C
That can never satisfy
                Em
The reality of answers
                       D
When lives are on the line
               Am
I've waited a lifetime
               C
For the age of wonder
                  Em
A place that I remember
                   D
In a splinter of time
                   Am
A stranger in a strange land
                C
Caught in the flow
                     Em
Still searching for answers
                D
Among the neon lights


[Chorus]
                     Am
It's a beautiful dream
                  C
It's a beautiful life
                Em
It's just a reflection
                     D
A world that must survive
                       Am
We're children of the past
                   C
Who look beyond today
                 Em
Designing the present
                D
So when is the future
                 Am
We live in a dream
                  C
Keeping visions alive
                Em
It's just a reflection
                   D
A world that never dies
                Am
The image we create
                   C
In our image we design
                  Em
It's a beautiful life
                D
So when is the future
