Every time when I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
Cause, it went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got the dues in life to pay
Oooh, I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody sin
You got to lose to know how to win
These ideas are nightmares to white parents
Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings
Like whatever they say has no
bearing, it's so scary in a house that allows
No swearing
To see him walking around with his headphones blaring
Alone in his own zone, cold and he don't care
He's a problem child
And what bothers him all comes out, when he talks about
His fin' dad walkin' out
'Cause he just hates him so bad that he blocks him out
If he ever saw him again he'd probably knock him out
His thoughts are whacked, he's mad so he's talkin' back
Talkin' black, brainwashed from rock and rap
He sags his pants, do-rags and a stocking cap
His step-father hit him, so he socked him back, and broke his nose
His house is a broken home,
there's no control, he just let's his emotions
Sing with me, sing for the years
sing for the laughter, sing for the tears,
Sing it with me, just for today,
maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you
Beacuse
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on, ohhhhhh
Sing with me, sing for the years
sing for the laughter, sing for the tears,
Sing it with me, just for today,
maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you
Sing with me, sing for the years
sing for the laughter, sing for the tears,
Sing it with me, just for today,
maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you
Ohhhhhhh...
