Dreaming On
[Intro]
May have been lost, but now we've been found
Finding our footing when dropped on the ground
Keep our heads up, and we can stay proud
Never stop dreaming on

[Verse 1]
Ever since I was a kid, I never stopped dreaming
Even in the hardest times, I never stopped feeling
We all struggle with ourselves and say we've got demons
But being loud is always better than us not speaking
I been beaten down, but snappin' back like a rubber band, like a dentist - how I'm hunting plaques
Hands shakе when we meet up, but I'm giving hugs when I'm coming back
Turn thе page like a fliporama - how I captain this in my underpants
Always thought I've been given answers, but I'm playing life like a button mash
So they don't see the work and love I put in everything I make
And though it seems to hurt, I'm proud of every move and risk I take
We learn to speak with words, so we can bound some eyes like ricochet
'Cause every new idea has got us lightin' up like cityscapes

[Chorus]
May have been lost, but now we've been found
Finding our footing when dropped on the ground
Keep our heads up, and we can stay proud
Never stop dreaming on
Show what we've got and keep our words loud
Climbing our way up and not looking down
We cannot stop, you hearing our sound
Never stop dreaming on
[Verse 2]
Uh, and every loss becomes the lesson, I've been sweating, I can't answer every question
Like I'm Sisyphus I'm giving this my all with no progression
I'm excited to be running, but regretting every session
If you're beating up yourself, that's time that's wasted on the present
So you make the choice to plant the seed, then all this is a part of me
They say we forging swords, but I'll be making the whole armory
And every word you think is bad's another person's masterpiece
I'm grateful for my life since the day I choked on mancala beads
I'm turning the page that I'm reading, uh
Words falling down like the paper is bleeding
Letters be gates to our feelings, uh
Tapestry taking the spec different meanings[?]
I may be short, but I'm breaking the ceiling
Too many things that are wasted on grieving
Music I make is a place for my healing
And I'm not afraid to put faith in my dreaming

[Chorus]
May have been lost, but now we've been found
Finding a footing with drops on the ground
Keep our heads up, and we can stay proud
Never stop dreaming on
Show what we've got and keep our words loud
Climbing our way up and not looking down
We can not stop, you hearing our sound
Never stop dreaming on
[Bridge]
I feel so lonely in my own head
My mind's a poison and it's begging for a slow death
All I feel is guilt for my success, but I don't know best
I have to keep on working, so I find out where I'll go next
We rising up on mountains, and our dreams are send us to the stars
Even if our purpose is discovering just who we are
We're in this together, so we can't forget to do our part
We're bound by flesh and blood that keeps on beating through our human hearts

[Chorus]
May have been lost, but now we've been found
Finding a footing with drops on the ground
Keep our heads up, and we can stay proud
Never stop dreaming on
May have been lost, but now we've been found
Finding a footing with drops on the ground
Keep our heads up, and we can stay proud
Never stop dreaming on
Show what we've got and keep our words loud
Climbing our way up and not looking down
We can not stop, you hearing our sound
Never stop dreaming on
