Vans
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was born in the dark
Darkness of my hunger and pain
I was born this way
And you can't take my hunger away
Vans on my feet
Will carry me
This cold concrete
Will set me free
Set me free
Everyone's searching for a purpose in life
A house for a home with some kids would be nice
Taught to believe that if we don't achieve
We're just another waste of space in front of a TV screen
I'm scared to believe in myself these days
'Cause if I try and I fail what will my friends say?
In a world full of hopes and dreams
I get nightmares every single time I sleep
Vans on my feet
Will carry me
Set me free
To be who I wanna be
Vans on my feet
Will carry me
This cold concrete
Will set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
