All I wanted to be
Why have all my dreams
Just blown away?
During life there are times
When it’s so hard to believe
You’re just down on your knees
You can barely breath
How did life get this way
Racking your brain
Why can’t this pain
Just go away
Took a wrong turn
Somewhere down the road
Now you can’t face the world
It’s too hard to behold
Whatever happened to me,
All I wanted to be
Why have all my dreams
Just blown away?
Sometimes out there
It can be so cold
You reach your hand out
But there’s no one to hold
People screaming
Calling out
Tears are streaming
Rivers of doubt
No one cares anymore
Compassions gone out the door
It’s never been so unclear
Why we hate and who we fear
Whatever happened to me,
All I wanted to be
Why have all my dreams
Just blown away?
The world’s turned upside down
What once was green has wilted to brown
Anger and hatred pour out of our souls
With war and death obscuring our goals
Your questioning reality
Cause it’s a nightmare to a tee
There’s too much that’s going on
Just how real can it be
A hazy mist clouds
What once was so clear
When you’re down and out
Drowning in tears
Whatever happened to me,
All I wanted to be
Why have all my dreams
Just blown away?
When you’re down on the ground
Been kicked in the dirt
You don’t know how to feel
You’re just too hurt
How can you get back up
When you took such a fall far down
No matter how hard you push
You’re glued to the ground
How can you survive
When there’s no positive vibes
So many in agony
Their futures unsteady
Whatever happened to me
All I wanted to be
Why have all my dreams
Just blown away
Sometimes the world is so cruel
Playin’ you for a fool
You feel so empty inside
But there’s no place to hide
Ya, the world isn’t right
You know something’s gone wrong
That it’s gotten so bad
I had to write this song
Whatever happened to me
All I wanted to be
Why have all my dreams
Just blown away
