I Had a Dream

when i was young
i had a dream
ya it stuck with me
throughout most of my years

then life hit me oh so hard
punched me in the gut
ya it made me bleed

dragged me through the love
lifted me up and threw me down
stomped on my heart with its heel

after that the dream was lost
i didn't even try to pretend
i just wanted to be by myself
get to know the person in the mirror

and before i knew it life had passed
my soul content it's who i knew
no one to hurt me anymore

just trying not to dream
putting it all in the past
isn't that what you would do
won't you tell me honestly

but life is funny
about how it won't let go
bring you back in the circle
from the straight and narrow

and i remember
when i was young
i had a dream
ya it stuck with me
throughout most of my years

then life hit me oh so hard
punched me in the gut
ya it made me bleed

dragged me through the love
lifted me up and threw me down
then it
stomped on my heart with its heel
ya as hard as it could

grinding me into the dirt
trying as it might
to really make it hurt

what good is a life without a dream
something to believe in
something to make you smile
to make you want to wake up

just to hear her voice again
but now that's all gone
it's all over... forever
it's not what i wanted
but she said she had to go

what good is a life without a dream
something to believe in
something to make you smile
to make you want to wake up

when i was young
when i was young
ya..when i was young
when i was young
when i was young
ya...i had a dream
