I had to prove that I could make it alone, but that´s not me,
I wanted to show how independent I´d grown, but that´s not me,
I´d try to be big in the eyes of the world
But what matters to me is what I could be to just one girl

I´m a little bit scared ´cause I haven´t been home in a long time.
You needed my love and I know that I left at the wrong time,

My folks when I wrote them and told ´em what I was up to said that´s not me,
Went through all kinds of changes, took a look at myself and said that´s not me,

I miss my pad and the places I´ve known and every night as I lay there alone

I will dream

I once had a dream so I packed up and split for the city,
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn´t so pretty

I´m glad I went
Now I´m that much more sure that we´re ready

I once had a dream so I packed up and split for the city,
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn´t so pretty

I once had a dream so I packed up and split for the city,
I soon found out that my lonely life wasn´t so pretty
