We all grew up on the same little corner, on the same little block,
of the same little town
Life offered everything it needed to keep us down
Don’t have to look for trouble its just around
We found some peace though, when the summer breeze would blow
And we’d climb up the apricot trees and eat slow
And talk about all the places that we’d go and what it felt like,
we bought our mom a dream home
Man, what I could do if I got in that position
The chance to make a difference when the whole world listens
They used to laugh and say that I was s dreamer
I was never mad cause deep down inside I never believed that I could do it either
I used to watch the tumble weeds leave my neighborhood
They never turned back, passing through the trees beneath us And then I watched one disappear and it was understood exactly just what I had
to do to achieve it Packing my bags was the hardest thing I ever did
Felt like I was turning my back on the past, well, I chased the future
But I got to take a chance on me and that’s what it is And I pray that one day you’ll do the same that you believe it And time will shorten the distance of this dirt beneath us And that you get to live the dreams that you used to speak of And that you never give in when life starts to beat up And that you don’t get caught up when the streets heat up They told me never turn you back on the ones who really need ya And you always stay on path even when down seems up They can’t break us with the amount of love we got
There’s plenty to share, bring your fountain cup
Check it The very first time that I looked in your eyes
Something changed inside of me for the rest of my life
I had to protect you
Shield you from all the bad the world had to offer
Learn how to be a good dad
It’s the most important job that I’ve ever had, and will
And it makes me sad inside cause the world that you live in is ill
I still feel it could be changed, maybe you’ll be the one to do it
I promise I’ll always be a positive influence
And never steer you wrong no matter how out of control it all gets
I’ll pick you up I’ll battle the world for you
(I'll chase all the bad away, I’ll come and save the day)
I’ll be your superhero
I’ll catch you before it crashes
I’m never gonna come down landing
Only gonna go up, only gonna go up My heads in the clouds
I don’t see the ground
And it may come crashing down on me one day but
My heads in the clouds
I don’t see the ground
And it may come crashing down on me one day but not now
There will come a day when you wanna fly away
You were born to fly no matter how much I want you to stay
Just remember anything you want you can have it Don’t be afraid to work hard at it People come and go, hard times do the same
Stay true to yourself
The illusion is plain
Life is beautiful
Sometimes life is pain
Just remember you’re never alone in the rain, know that
I’ll be your superhero
I’ll catch you before it crashes
I’m never gonna come down landing
Only gonna go up, only gonna go up My heads in the clouds
I don’t see the ground
And it may come crashing down on me one day but
My heads in the clouds
I don’t see the ground
And it may come crashing down on me one day but not now
