A man I'll never be You look up at me And somewhere in your mind you see If only I could find a way I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am And it gets harder every day for me To hide behind this dream you see If I said what's on my mind You'd turn

Take me back to my southern ways Where I can be myself and live another day Where the tall pines blow and the southern winds kiss my face When I was 15 I dreamed of leaving my home I had to see the world And live like a rolling stone I heard California

A thousand times, too many times I've fallen back out of place from a dream The bright sunlight, a rude awakening Like I'm seeing the colors leave the brush for the wall That's when, into I reach into memories I long to relive those times Those younger

And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain

Yeah, I will be there Oh, I will be there Will you live like me, in a world run by desire? Will you wake from worldly dream and not be tired? Will you work like me to lift the conversation higher? Will you be cool like water putting out the fire? How can

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives Hear the sound of the falling rain Coming down like an armageddon flame (hey!) The ones who died without a name Hear the dogs howlin' out of key

Bye-bye, girl There’s a road I gotta find Called the gypsy life I miss that life Like a good old friend Until I’m back again There’s a dream that’s still alive It will take some time A long, long time

Here I go again on my own Goin' down the only road I've ever known Like a drifter I was born to walk alone And I'll keep livin' the life Living the dream on my own. We could all live the dream I ain't wasting no more time Funny how things change Yet they

People like you You live in a dream world You despise the outside And you fear you're the next one It's in your dream There's just one question Should I kill Or should I be left behind Sick and tired

Shed your light on me Be my eyes when I can’t see Shed your light on me Be my guide so I can see The bigger picture Long before the colors start to bleed I can see the painting come alive Clever like an angel in disguise Moving in and out of reach
