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
