I want to get back

I want to get square

I want to get back all the hopes and the dreams that i had

That the good lord above us can't spare

Like that actor said i don't want to lose heart

I don't want to get beat beat down by the big big world

Of quit before i even start

Lord i just want my life to be true

And i just want my heart to be true

And i just want my words to be true

I want my soul to feel brand new

I want to hold hands yeah

Yeah and i want make love

I want to keep running all day and and all night

Even when my mind tells my body that's enough

And i want to stand up yeah and i want to stand tall

If i ever have a son, if i ever have a daughter

I don't want to tell them that i didn't give my all

And i just want my life to be true

I just want my heart to be true

I just want my words to be true

I want my soul to feel brand brand new

Like a fresh coat of paint

We can make it anything but blue

Anything but blue

Now when your dreams start saying i can't come true

You'd be better off without me

Don't let em go, don't let em go

I don't want to go broke, not from one bad deal

I don't want to be up all night crying in my hands

For a girl that isn't even real

Lord i just want my life to be true

And i just want my heart to be true

And i just want my words to be true

And i just want my song to be true

And i just want my heart to be true

And i just want my life to be true

And i just want my words to be true

And i just want my heart to be true

And i just want my life to be true

And i just want my song to be true

And i just want my life to be true

I want my soul to feel brand new

I want my soul to feel brand new
