I live in a city where we're taught to never dream big
And they shrugged off our ideas and thought that we'd be disappointed
I've played in bars and street corners to get back on my feet
But my best friends were the people you'd probably ignore on the streets
And we'd play our music, when no one would listen
We swapped stories smoking cigarettes until the morning
And we'd speak about our lives and we were not alone
Because hope itself it was ours to hold
I sung in a band one time to give a good show
And it wasn't for the money it was to reach your soul
The songs we played were not my words unlike the ones on this page
They were negative and I used to feel that way but I have changed
And we'd play our music, when no one would listen
We swapped stories smoking cigarettes until the morning
And we'd speak about our lives and we were not alone
Because hope itself it was ours to hold
And we'd play our music, when no one would listen
We swapped stories smoking cigarettes until the morning
And we'd speak about our lives and we were not alone
Because hope itself it was ours to hold
