lyrics

You can dream of anything
Can’t dream away this life
Sticks & stones all the broken bones
Be grateful you survived

So many things that can colour your world
Hard work is just part of the fight
Create smoke & mirrors to disguise all the hurt
Forgetting the lessons we learned
Opportunities come by like ships in the night
Don’t let them keep passing you by
Don’t let them keep passing you by
Don’t let them keep passing you by by by by

You can dream of anything
Can’t dream away this life
Sticks & stones all the broken bones
Be grateful you survived

Something keeps pushing you to bathe in the light
So out of the shadows you turn
We all fall at one time trying to do what is right
All the bruises you thought you deserved
So drown in your sorrow lose all those around
You don’t really share their concerns

You can dream of anything
Can’t dream away this life
Sticks & stones all the broken bones
Be grateful you survived

Underneath the willow tree
Is where the demons lie
Sticks & stones that no one knows
Be thankful you’re alive

You step up to battle though no ones at war
Dreams end up all on the floor
Only one thing can stop you as you look at yourself
Motivation awaits you at dawn

You can dream of anything
Can’t dream away this life
Sticks & stones all the broken bones
Be grateful you survived

You can dream
Sticks & stones all the broken bones
Be grateful you survived
