Still Alive

Sometimes I wonder… How far my dreams really are… But I’m still here… Still walking… Got a pocket full of plans and a heart full of doubt Every road I choose got another way out Used to see the stars so clear in the sky Now reality got me questioning why Bills on the table, dreams on the shelf Trying to be strong when I’m losing myself Everybody saying “be realistic now” So I smile and agree, but I don’t know how Some days I feel like I’m drifting away Trading pieces of my soul just to make it through the day Still I keep a little hope where nobody can see A quiet little fire still burning in me Maybe not today Maybe not tonight But I still believe My dream still alive Slowly, step by step Through the dark, through the stress Even if I bend sometimes I won’t break, not yet Life taught lessons I never asked to know Sometimes you gotta slow down when you wanted to go Making compromises just to survive Keeping old dreams hidden deep inside I envy the version of me from before The one who believed every open door But maybe growing up ain’t losing the light Maybe it’s learning how to protect it at night So I carry my dreams through the rain and the cold Through the fear of getting older and older One day these scars gonna tell my story One day this struggle gonna turn into glory If the road gets longer I’ll walk a little farther If the night gets darker I’ll hold my dream tighter Maybe not today Maybe not tonight But I still believe My dream still alive Slowly, step by step Through the dark, through the stress Even if I bend sometimes I won’t break, not yet Not yet… My story isn’t finished yet… One day… I’ll get there…
