| We all grew up on the same little corner, on the same little block,
|
| of the same little town
|
| Life offered everything it needed to keep us down
|
| Don’t have to look for trouble its just around
|
| We found some peace though, when the summer breeze would blow
|
| And we’d climb up the apricot trees and eat slow
|
| And talk about all the places that we’d go and what it felt like,
|
| we bought our mom a dream home
|
| Man, what I could do if I got in that position
|
| The chance to make a difference when the whole world listens
|
| They used to laugh and say that I was s dreamer
|
| I was never mad cause deep down inside I never believed that I could do it
|
| either
|
| I used to watch the tumble weeds leave my neighborhood
|
| They never turned back, passing through the trees beneath us
|
| And then I watched one disappear and it was understood exactly just what I had
|
| to do to achieve it
|
| Packing my bags was the hardest thing I ever did
|
| Felt like I was turning my back on the past, well, I chased the future
|
| But I got to take a chance on me and that’s what it is
|
| And I pray that one day you’ll do the same that you believe it
|
| And time will shorten the distance of this dirt beneath us
|
| And that you get to live the dreams that you used to speak of
|
| And that you never give in when life starts to beat up
|
| And that you don’t get caught up when the streets heat up
|
| They told me never turn you back on the ones who really need ya
|
| And you always stay on path even when down seems up
|
| They can’t break us with the amount of love we got
|
| There’s plenty to share, bring your fountain cup
|
| Check it
|
| The very first time that I looked in your eyes
|
| Something changed inside of me for the rest of my life
|
| I had to protect you
|
| Shield you from all the bad the world had to offer
|
| Learn how to be a good dad
|
| It’s the most important job that I’ve ever had, and will
|
| And it makes me sad inside cause the world that you live in is ill
|
| I still feel it could be changed, maybe you’ll be the one to do it
|
| I promise I’ll always be a positive influence
|
| And never steer you wrong no matter how out of control it all gets
|
| I’ll pick you up I’ll battle the world for you
|
| (I'll chase all the bad away, I’ll come and save the day)
|
| I’ll be your superhero
|
| I’ll catch you before it crashes
|
| I’m never gonna come down landing
|
| Only gonna go up, only gonna go up
|
| My heads in the clouds
|
| I don’t see the ground
|
| And it may come crashing down on me one day but
|
| My heads in the clouds
|
| I don’t see the ground
|
| And it may come crashing down on me one day but not now
|
| There will come a day when you wanna fly away
|
| You were born to fly no matter how much I want you to stay
|
| Just remember anything you want you can have it
|
| Don’t be afraid to work hard at it
|
| People come and go, hard times do the same
|
| Stay true to yourself
|
| The illusion is plain
|
| Life is beautiful
|
| Sometimes life is pain
|
| Just remember you’re never alone in the rain, know that
|
| I’ll be your superhero
|
| I’ll catch you before it crashes
|
| I’m never gonna come down landing
|
| Only gonna go up, only gonna go up
|
| My heads in the clouds
|
| I don’t see the ground
|
| And it may come crashing down on me one day but
|
| My heads in the clouds
|
| I don’t see the ground
|
| And it may come crashing down on me one day but not now |
