Damn That Dream

(album: 26 East, Vol. 1 - 2020)

All my life I have tried
To make sense of this dream I'm chasing
Trying to silence the voice telling me I'm not good enough
Be the best you can be
Boy remember to keep on smiling
Try, try harder and someday day son you'll see

'Cause you can do better ya know
These are the words I was told long ago
But to never give up or give in man it's taking its toll

Damn the dream that steals the night
With restless thoughts till mornings light
In sleepless hours we ask is this what we're made of
Damn that dream that robs the soul
That cuts us all in half from whole
Damn the fears that know just what we're afraid of
Damn that dream
I love that dream

What the hell do you do
When your future is all in past tense
And the clock on the wall keeps spinning round and round
Well here's my point of view
When the world seems to make no damn sense
Why not take some other avenue

'Cause you can do better ya see
Excepting the fact there no guarantees
Cause every dream falls apart in the face of reality

Damn the dream that breaks your heart
That leaves you lost and torn apart
Searching for a clue to find what you're made of
Damn the dream that promised you
The land of oz then dared come true
Leaving you to find it's all a charade of
That damn dream

Damn the dream that breaks your heart
That leaves you lost and torn apart
Searching for a clue to find what you're made of
Damn the dream that promised you
The land of oz then dared come true
Leaving you to find it's all a charade of
Damn that dream
I love that dream
Damn that dream
I love that dream
Damn that dream
I love that dream
Damn that dream
