Lyrics


Oh, when the world’s losin’ its damn mind, baby,
Blamin’ you for troubles they can’t define,
Keep your head cool, don’t you break or sway,
Trust your soul, though doubters block your way.
Wait in the dark, don’t let patience fade,
Lies come creepin’, don’t you join that trade.
Hated by all, don’t let hate take hold,
Stay true, stay humble, don’t shine too bold.
Chorus
If you can dream, but not let dreams rule your heart,
Think deep, but don’t let thinkin’ tear you apart,
Meet triumph and disaster, both cheatin’ you blind,
Treat ‘em like shadows, leave ‘em behind.
Oh, when your truth gets twisted by a fool’s cruel game,
Or your life’s work’s broken, but you rise just the same,
Stoop low, grab them worn-out tools, and sing,
Build it back, baby, let your soul take wing.
Verse 2
Take all your winnings, stack ‘em high and tall,
Risk it all on one throw, watch it rise or fall.
Lose it all, darlin’, start from the dirt,
Don’t cry ‘bout your losses, don’t show that hurt.
When your heart’s worn thin, and your strength’s long gone,
Will’s all you got, screamin’, “Hold on!”
Force that fire, let it burn through the night,
Keep on fightin’ till the mornin’ light.
Chorus
If you can dream, but not let dreams rule your heart,
Think deep, but don’t let thinkin’ tear you apart,
Meet triumph and disaster, both cheatin’ you blind,
Treat ‘em like shadows, leave ‘em behind.
Oh, when your truth gets twisted by a fool’s cruel game,
Or your life’s work’s broken, but you rise just the same,
Stoop low, grab them worn-out tools, and sing,
Build it back, baby, let your soul take wing.
Verse 3
Walk with the crowds, keep your virtue tight,
Dance with kings, but don’t lose the common light.
Foes and friends, they can’t break your stride,
Every man’s your brother, but don’t let ‘em ride.
Fill every minute with a fight worth the run,
Sixty seconds of fire ‘fore the day is done.
The world’s yours, child, every star and stone,
And you’ll be a man, my son, standin’ strong alone.
Outro
Oh, when the blues come callin’, and the night’s too long,
Sing your truth, keep movin’, let your heart stay strong.
Yeah, when the blues come callin’, and the road’s too rough,
You’ll be a man, my son, ‘cause your soul’s tough enough.
