A Man Without a Dream
With the music of life, my soul is out of tune
And I feel like I'm growing old much too soon
My love for you, I just couldn't convey
And the keys to my happiness, I let slip away
Now I'm a man without a dream
I've got a heart that has no hope
All my senses are numb
Losing you, I've become
A man (I'm just a man) without a dream
Instead of striving to reach my goals and my aims
I got distracted with meaningless games
For just an illusion, I traded love that was real
Now my eyes cannot see and my heart cannot feel
Now I'm a man without a dream
I've got a heart that has no hope
All my senses are numb
Losing you, I've become
A man (I'm just a man) without a dream
Sometimes I think I'm a prisoner of fate
Doomed to find out things a little too late
And so I must play this broken man's role
Unless you come home, girl, and bring back my soul
'Cause I'm a man without a dream
I've got a heart that has no hope
All my senses are numb
Losing you, I've become
A man (I'm just a man) without a dream
Without a dream
Without a dream
