I stand for the right
But fall for the wrong
No matter how many times I fail
I just can't succeed
I have dreamed a dream
But now that dream has gone from me
This is not what we've been
Not what we've been
This is who we are
We surround ourselves with mirrors just to see the reflection's of ourselves
I'll, I'll twist the truth. To spin this web right
I stand the right but fall for the wrong
I say the words but they never affect me
I have dreamed a dream but now that dream has gone from me
This is not what we've been, not what we've been
This is who we are
We surround ourselves with mirrors just to see the reflections of ourselves
Pride is my downfall
I have hated, discriminated, despised, and idolized
I have hated, discriminated, despised, and idolized
I have dreamed a dream, but now that dream has gone from me
This is not what we've been not what we've been
This is who we are
We surround ourselves with mirrors just to see the reflections of ourselves
