Echoes

Drizzle, drizzle falls the rain Head down, I finally fight the pain That resonates from inside out tonight And on this slower east side street My triumphs and my present meet To question me, if where I am is right And I can still hear daddy saying "You should know I'm proud" And too many voices from before They grow too loud They're just echoes in my mind Echoes of a time When the climb was not so steep And I'm hoping the echoes in my mind Echoes in time The echoes will let me sleep It's not my fault, I got distracted Love and monthly rent detract from taking home The trophy every day The laughter of my old best friend It fades, delays, but doesn't end And I wonder, was it me who pulled away? I can't take these echoes in my mind Echoes of a time When the climb was not so steep And I'm hoping the echoes in my mind Echoes in time The echoes will let me sleep Cause I hear the years, the cheers, I thought I had it all But champions can't rise Oh, they fall... But now I'm here, and I fear That who I am can't last, I'm not my past But it won't stop calling to me Echoes in my mind The echoes in time The echoes in my mind Echoes of a time When the climb was not so steep And I'm hoping the echoes in my mind Echoes in time The echoes, I'm hoping, I'm hoping they let me sleep Yeah, yeah, yeah... I hope they'll let me sleep Oh, oh, oh... Echoes...
