Short Heroic Dream (7/6/2007)

Call me a dreamer, tell me my head’s in the clouds
I want to feel what it’s like to be courageous and proud
Just like you see in the movies, in the face of adversity
I’d have the strength to stand tall against whatever would verse me
Cause the thoughts kind of hurt me, the doubts that I harbor
Belief that I’d fail if this life would get harder
I want to know in the moment that I’d be the right person
I don’t just want to think it, I want to know it for certain
And when they pull shut the curtains and every thing’s finished
People will speak about how I made a real difference
How I went beyond all my limits and saved something or other
And we’ve all come to realize we’re all sisters and brothers

It seems so fantastical to dream like a child
I can’t help how I feel, my imagination runs wild
But what I speak in this style is something that bugs me
These doubts are a burden that weigh down above me
I just wish life would shove me and give me a chance now
To be that lone hero that could do it, all hands down
Letting me stand proud, a man with his courage
Making a difference when the chance makes me flourish
Yet, I feel so discouraged, I doubt I could do it
I hate the damn fact that I wouldn’t fight through it
I don’t want the fame, I just want the sole knowledge
That when the moment is dire, I can say that I got it
