Try and try again, Failure, my only friend Take my only dream Wash it away Rest your weary head in the arms of your creator There's no shame in being afraid of chasing your dreams I don't have the heart to carry on anymore Constant burden of expectation From those who surround me Oppressor, I can feel your words in my head Betrayer, I can feel your hands around my neck I'm suffocating I can feel the light fading And although I try to hold on to these hopes and dreams I feel like they will be the end of me The harder I try, the more I fail That's the way it's always going to be It's a fact of life that I'll never be who I want to be But I've got to keep trying I'll never give up I'll never lose hope Never lose your faith in what you can achieve Don't listen to the words of those that don't believe Never lose your faith in what you can achieve Don't listen to the words of those that don't believe in you They don't understand what they see You're the shepherd for the weak You are the voice for the people that can't speak I have found my dreams are shelter Against the world they will not falter any more
