The American Dream

I dreamed a dream last night
I saw my life pass by
And all the things I’ve wanted, they were mine
I thought that I was doing fine
I worked so hard for my business
But I was never home for Christmas
Still I thought that I could buy more time
There was only one thing on my mind
‘Cause they say
There ain’t no limitations
It’s only your imagination
If you can dream it you can do it
Whatever fits for you
Might not fit for me
But who’s to say what’s right or what is wrong
People like to sing their own song
The American dream
Is just not what it seems
Cause if the whole world was mine
Would it change the bottom line?
The American dream
It’s just polish and sheen
Cause at the end of the day
It won’t wipe your tears away
Now I'm wide awake
I feel I need a break
From all the things I’ve wanted in my life
Do I need them to survive?
I know I need to change
But my soul feels strange
The thought that I might lose it all is here
I’d rather choose to hide my fear
Oeh, oeh
The American dream
Is just not what it seems
Cause if the whole world was mine
Would it change the bottom line?
The American dream
Is just not what it seems
But I'm afraid
I’ll never wake up from that dream
