I've always been a dreamer
I've always tried to keep my expectations high
I've always been a seeker, tryna live the high live
Rooted and grounded
My dreams, I can't count them
I'm living my life like a king on a mountain
Watch the fall
On with the show
I'm always wondering how you could live your life like this
So defeated in your house living your life like this
Sick and tired of thinking there'll be something you might miss
You reminisce for all those days in the distance
It's been a whole week since you got outside
Sometime along the line, you lost your stride
That old you is someone that still lives inside
And the music that feel is loud and amplified
I've tried! I've given you all the tools
Made a fool of myself one too many time too
I stood up for you. Man, I grew up for you
I sacrificed a little bit too much for you!
And now to see you sitting there
Sitting soiled in your chair
I wonder if you can hear me
By God, are you even there?
You're just a shell of a man
And now I'm getting scared
Is this my fate, the truth I have to bear? No!
I won't accept it, there is time to correct it
Though life may get hectic
My voice is electric
They'll try to affect it
I'll take a direct hit
Mess with the message
And move it, progressive
And I'm worried that I might grow old and cold
Always coming up empty when I'm tryna strike gold
But I'mma have some stories that are worth being told
Cuz this flame in my heart? It can't be controlled
I've always been a dreamer
I've always tried to keep my expectations high
I've always been a seeker, tryna live the high live
Rooted and grounded
My dreams, I can't count them
I'm living my life like a king on a mountain
Watch the fall
On with the show
This is a letter to myself
Forty years down the road
I'm so scared of all the things I don't know
I don't wanna regret all the choices that I make
Because to live in the past is to give up today
But I can't stop thinking about all the avenues I could take
I don't know what I wanna be, but I wanna be great
I'm freaking out about the future cuz it feels like fate
Patience is virtue but I just can't relate
So please, remember that you're guided by the music
Through pain, love, and heartache, it's always gotten you through it
And if you're ever feeling timid, just say: Man, screw it
I know you've got a dream, it's time to pursue it
I'm writing you this letter cause I want you to know
That I love you in spite of the things you can't control
As you close up this chapter, I hope you feel free
