when I wake up in the morning I just wanna be a better version of myself maybe a better me when I look up in the mirror I just take a peek and I can see a clearer image of the man I wanna be they say the things that are behind are closer than they seem so you gotta learn to stay ahead of them by every means you can't out run them but dont let them ruin your history and die without being the person that you really wanna be chasing your dreams can seem like a nightmare when theres no one to love no one to care nobody to hold you close when you get scared nobody to pick you up off the ground when life just isn't fair. (chorus) maybe I can't be the one to dry all your tears but if you put your head on my shoulders I will hold it there. if your heart is breaking and it starts to tear I will pick up the pieces and try to repair. (verse 2) what good are our lives If we never really learn to love what good are friends if we dont ever know who we can trust. what good is family if their not there when things get rough yo we can talk about this every day it still won't be enough cause talk is cheap and lies are free it accures to me the lies we hold the lies we keep we can't be free what do we hope to achieve oh can you tell me please if we keep ignoring the cries of those within humanity. can't you hear them cryin their dyin from the north south east and west do you want them to have the best.
