Brought Up To Believe Lyrics - Reilly Maggie

Schoolgirls giggling in the next compartment 

Lipstick ladies in their head 

Magazine styles, romantic visions 

Starting their lives advertisement fed 

And they're brought up to believe in dreams 

Of a better life 

Thinking about the easy years to come 

Looking forward that's the only way 

That they've been taught 

One day the world will be their own 

And the wheel turns around 

In the twinkling of an eye 

And they find their hopes just 

Castles in the sand 

Older faces in the mirror now 

Chasing ghosts of yesterday 

Once they were foolish, once they didn't care 

Now their eyes fill with memories 

They were brought up to believe in dreams 

And a better life 

They sure knew good times when they were young 

But somehow, sometimes, it's not easy to recall 

All the good things they have done 

As their time slips away, only memories live on 

Ever changing with the passing of the years 

How could life be so hard 

Fading wishes left to rust 

Till they find the stardust 

Sprinkled in their eyes 

Schoolgirls giggling in the next compartment 

Lipstick ladies in their head 

Magazine styles, romantic visions 

Starting their lives advertisement fed 

And they're brought up to believe in dreams 

Of a better life 

Thinking about the easy years to come 

Looking forward that's the only way 

They'll realise 

One day the world will be their own 

And they were brought up to believe in dreams 

Of a better life 

They sure knew good times when they were young 

But sometimes, somehow, it's not easy to recall 

All the good things that they've done
