I was running through the streets, when I got home I had lived eleven springs, mama’s little boy On a napkin I had drawn a man with one guitar an voice Something I swore one day would become true One chance to make me feel That I can still hold to this Promise my future holds I can see clear it’s Not too far One dream that came alive in this Napkin art One moment captured in my eyes still One heart might get broken Yet eyes wide open Stars in my own mind Only true need to feel as one Twenty years came by, drawing’s on the wall I see my friends with boring jobs, feeling in control While I'm caught up in this college desk And write a thousand lyrics for Deep inside I know this ain’t where I belong Live a life of make believe And spark this young-blood’s riot Though I’ve been here before Can’t spin this wheel no more Not too far One dream that came alive in this Napkin art One moment captured in my eyes still One heart might get broken Yet eyes wide open Stars in my own mind Only true need to feel as one All it takes for me to feel alive Is the purpose I’ve chosen Over always feeling satisfied With a life I’d be lost in So long been hiding in the dark But the shadows, they taught me That I came out to tell my story Not too far One dream that came alive in this Napkin art One moment captured in my eyes still One heart might get broken Yet eyes wide open Stars in my own mind Only true need to feel as one Stars in my own mind Only true need to feel as one
