Used to Think the Stars Above Were Growin'
Used to Think That I Could Be There Too
Watch Winds of Time a Blowin'
But the Sky Won't Let Me Feel
Got Me in a Real Life Situation
Even Though the World Is Fakin'
And Hey That Dedication, Ooh Ooh Ooh
I Had a Dream That I Was Six Feet Taller
I Had a Dream That I Could Be With You
Wept a World Above Your Shoulders
'cause a Hole to Search Is Through
Got Me in a Real Life Situation
Even Though the World Is Fakin'
And Hey That Dedication, Ooh Ooh Ooh
Got Me in a Real Life Situation
Even Though the World Is Fakin'
And Hey That Dedication, Ooh Ooh Ooh
