Something Real

For what it’s worth, here I stand

With my heart on my sleeve, and blood on my hands

For any man who lost his youth

And told us stories all but truth

You have my respect and time.

This one’s for you,

To pull you through,

I watched and waited,

As you grew.

We’ve tried too long to make this happen

The clock’s decaying on the wall

I’ll raise my glass up to the ceiling

All for one and one for all

Too many times they tried to stop us

Put our ambitions to the test

Stub them out like they were nothing

Do you think you know what’s best?

To dreaming, and cheating,

And all in between,

To guidance, defiance,

On my knees

All too much time spent bereaving

All I, know is, we need

Something real to believe in

My father said I’d be the greatest,

Aspiration’s running dry,

When Inspiration comes between us

I put my faith in alibis

To dreaming, and cheating,

And all in between,

To guidance, defiance,

On my knees

All too much time spent bereaving

All I, know is, we need

Something real to believe in

In rise and fall and in between

We try to reach our dreams

All too much time spent bereaving

All I know is we need

All I know is

Something Real To Believe in
