What's happening to me waves crash inside
Numbing my body nowhere to hide
Tears like grease I'm gasping for air
A tsunami of dreams a soul laid bare
His worried voice "Why do you cry?"
But I'm lost for words under this sky
Minutes pass I calm my mind
Feeling my soul escaping time
Oh I've been dreaming since I was small
Living in fantasies escaping it all
Growing up seemed far away
Now reality hits dreams fade to gray
As a kid dreams were my escape
Living in shadows molding my shape
Pretending grown with mom's old shoes
Building my future on fragile clues
Chasing dreams I walked my path
Saying no to what's not on my math
Holding values never sold my soul
Facing life's slap a constant toll
Chasing dreams I walked my path
Saying no to what's not on my math
Holding values never sold my soul
Facing life's slap a constant toll
Economic strife world in pain
Wars pandemics a relentless chain
Needing breath but none to find
Life's heavy burden clouding my mind
Oh I've been dreaming since I was small
Living in fantasies escaping it all
Growing up seemed far away
Now reality hits dreams fade to gray
A scream to God from deep inside
Breaking my will no place to hide
Not perfect but tried to be good
Lost in this world misunderstood
Made bad choices not from a bad heart
Just a girl trying to play her part
Chasing butterflies chaos in the air
Falling down standing up despair
Oh I've been dreaming since I was small
Living in fantasies escaping it all
Growing up seemed far away
Now reality hits dreams fade to gray
Settled for simple let big dreams go
A life just boring this I know
Time's fear still shadowing my days
Lost in monotony trapped in a maze
No escape now can't close my eyes
Dreams of youth now silent sighs
Mom's old shoes gone dreams too
In a world shattered what can I do
