| I was feeling the strain of 20 years
|
| I was saying well this is all there is I was seeing my blood it dripped like tears
|
| I was counting the cost of all my fears
|
| So you wanted to be like me to be seen
|
| So you wanted to rise from your darkest dream
|
| So you wanted to be the things that I’ve been
|
| Well let me tell you something
|
| It’s not what it seems
|
| Let me give you advice
|
| Hang onto your dreams
|
| I was down but not yet out you see
|
| I was riding the road to victory
|
| I was sailing the stars of secrecy
|
| And I was wearing the mask on honesty
|
| Don’t you know you can stop and start it again
|
| If you thought about time then it would be your friend
|
| Don’t you know that the sword is the same as the pen
|
| And in your world of trouble
|
| Where nothin g goes right
|
| I can give you advice
|
| If you won’t think once
|
| Then baby think twice
|
| So you see where I stand and where I fall
|
| So you see what I’ve got and that’s for all
|
| So you see this big man ain’t so tall
|
| You have to keep your feet down on the floor
|
| Do you still want to be like me to be seen
|
| Do you still want want to rise from your darkest dream
|
| Do you still want to be the things I’ve been
|
| Well let me tell you something
|
| It’s not what it seems
|
| Let me give you advice
|
| Hang onto your dreams
|
| Hang onto your dreams
|
| Hang onto your dream |
