Faded Dreams

Though it tried to break me down

Yeah, I'm still here and I'm standing

Hard to believe at only twenty-three

I'd be standing at a place where I could write my dreams

But my pencil needed sharpening

Before the pages made a mess of me

Too far gone, I've been away from home

You can tell when I'm on the telephone

You say, "Call me back, I need to hear your soul!"

Thought you had me, then it's, "Where'd she go?"

I've been running on faded dreams

Someone, help me, help me, please

It ain't always what it seems when you look happy

So now I'm walking with patience

Keeping the faith and

Receiving His grace, I'll be needing that

Sober-minded, I'm better

God, my protector

With me forever, He got my back

He got my back
