Lyrics:

I dream of changes.
I change my dreams.
I feel so restless,
Sometimes I get so mean.

Why should I bother
Finding the will,
When every movement I make
Just seems like I'm standing still?

[chorus:]
The shell of a fighter,
The shell of a man,
The weight of a lifetime -
Waiting for your healing hands.

And still I rise,
And still I dream,
And still I feel,
And I wait.

[chorus 1 repeat]

[chorus 2:]
Why don't you hold me
When I need you to?
Why don't you touch me
When I reach for you?

[chorus 3:]
Why don't you hurt for me
Like I do for you?
Why don't you dream of me -
Dream like I'm dreaming of you?

[chorus 1 x2]

The shell of a fighter

And still I rise,
And still I dream,
And still I feel,
And I wait.

The shell of a fighter
