Memories untouched, kick, kiss, bloom
Mess swept under the rug, ahead
Never the one who bled enough to fix this wound
Friend of the miserable, hangin' from the side
Born wolf pack, sheep turned butterfly, dead flower
Shower, with a mind full of paint
To give praise and thanks to my mother, my father
For ever making the decision to bring another voice
To a choir that could already sing
It's no surprise when living the dream
I get so sick of feeling high it gives me reason to sing
The same reason why the mystery stings
And why the man on the corner's got a trick up his sleeve
For every panhandled daughter knows prince of the thieves
I'mma stand here as long as it could take him to leave, please
I spent a lot of time manning up to have it back
What I miss, I was young and loved enough to channel that
Right here, right now
Everything is picture, perfect clear
Somehow, right here, right now
Everything is picture, perfect clear
Somehow, right here, right now
Right here, right, now
The dream is on the rise
I can see it in your eyes
If there's a sky then you can make it
If there's a sky then you can make it
The dream is on the rise
I can see it in your eyes
If there's a sky then you can make it
If there's a sky then you can make it
And what's better than finding something you lost
Admitting that you're wrong
Or saying sorry to someone you love
Not much, but having a child's gotta be the closest thing
To showing the world that your not giving up
Or giving in to the pressure that I know you feel
Or giving in to the skin that you may not want
But when we choose to face the weaknesses that we have made
It teaches us to keep a clean slate and remain strong
With the pain you endure comes the freedom to decide
Whether or not your gonna stay or leave
There's nothing more fulfilling than knowing that
Every cut you undergo, and overcome
Is because you've always believed
There are no mistakes only choices that I've made
Which in return have taught me lessons on the player in the game
The world I see outside is a reflection of me
And the direction that I take is where the message remains
I watched a thousand horses back down the mountain side
Just to get back to the bottom and look up at the sky
I looked up as well, and to my surprise
There was one young pony with the sun in his eyes
He was ready to live, he was ready to ride
He was ready to run, he was ready to die
I'm not sure what he did, but I know he was ready
And whatever it was it made the rest of us decide to climb
The dream is on the rise
I can see it in your eyes
If there's a sky then you can make it
If there's a sky then you can make it
The dream is on the rise
I can see it in your eyes
If there's a sky then you can make it
If there's a sky then you can make it
A lot to learn, A little to know
I'll reach for the top put my feet in a hole
You gotta go through the storm to appreciate the sun
And a rainbow the sum is the way of the sea doesn't grow from it
Love it, leave it alone, now touch it, hug it, feed it a bone
Give it your story for a piece of the puzzle
Admit that your blind, and in time it'll see on it's own
Don't believe in snakes, not in evil
I believe in change, and put my faith in people
Everyone is built the same my inner struggle loves control
That's good for strangers to relate to where some fathers wouldn't go
But when it all crumbles don't wait for the hero
Stomach that tummy ache
And create mirrors through other individuals you meet on the path
Because the connection that we crave becomes complete when we fear
No nightmare stuck to a meaningful feeling
The dream is on the rise
I can see it in your eyes
If there's a sky then you can make it
If there's a sky then you can make it
The dream is on the rise
I can see it in your eyes
If there's a sky then you can make it
If there's a sky then you can make it
