It’s hard to keep your feet on the ground when the world’s upside down. Nevertheless, our resilience and dreams for a better tomorrow balance out our despair. We should always keep faith in our ability to form our future in the image of our ideals.

Through The Looking Glass Lyrics
It’s so quiet in the city
Well, living inside isn’t easy
I’ll be drinking at my own front door
There’s nowhere to feel safe
My home is an arena
What is it that we’re fighting for?
No looking past the looking glass
And you will meet at last
So tell me who wants to live forever
When there’s nothing to believe in
Part time freedom
No one ever said it would be easy
There’s no treatment
When you’re down you gotta get up
But don’t stop dreaming, dreamer
Spinning out every minute Infinity running in circles
One wave will flood a hundred shores
The things that we sacrifice
Things that gave us life
And we’ve been here before
We’re fighting a lost war
Burdens from the past
Our I’s will meet at last
Through the looking glass
So tell me who wants to live forever
When there’s nothing to believe in
Part time freedom
No one ever said it would be easy
There’s no treatment
When you’re down you gotta get up
But don’t stop dreaming, dreamer
They’re getting closer now
Dreams that bend your way
Getting closer now
Don’t stop dreaming now
They’re getting closer now
So tell me who wants to live forever
When there’s nothing to believe in
Part time freedom
No one ever said it would be easy
There’s no treatment
When you’re down you gotta get up
And don’t stop dreaming, dreamer
When there’s nothing to believe in
No one ever said it would be easy
When you’re down you gotta get up
But don’t stop dreaming, dreamer
