sometimes i get so tired - sometimes it gets too hard
i don't know what keeps me going and i whistle in the dark
sometimes it feels like there's work to be done
and i can barely maintain
and there's not enough time and i'm so far behind
and nothing will ever change
CHORUS
i'm not backing away, not backing out, not backing down
a fire will burn, it's coming my way
i've got an ear to the ground
but i'm not backing down
there are days that pa** like hours
there are hours that pa** like days
there are lifetimes to be left behind and i can't seem to walk away
there are days when i'm just k**ing time and days when it k**s me
and i can't see the end of the endless days
and i don't have the energy
CHORUS
but inside my heart is a dream - it's a dream that won't let me fall
tho sometimes a dream is just a dream
and what's real is the clock on the wall
well maybe i'm a fool with a joker up my sleeve
but i have my dream - i believe what i know
and i know what i believe
CHORUS
