I’ve been
Drinking more than I’ve been singing
Blogging more than I’ve been thinking
Mad because I am not gifted
Stupid
I’ve been
Crying because I realized I’m
Dying, I won’t get two chances
Trying
So I give up lying
Here’s where I stand
I’m over compensating for
An illusion I won’t be more
I look at the stars and say
That could be me
One day
One day
I’ve been
Lying down more than I’m trying
Picking fights more than I’m writing
Plotting how to get you to believe
This star in me
I’ve been
Spying on all who threaten
Those who sing better than I can
Id lay down my life for my dream and
I’m frightened
I’m over compensating for
An illusion I won’t be more
I look at the stars and say
That could be me
One day
One day
Truthful and deep at the same time. The struggle of trying to get where you want to go in life aka the "dream". Somehow you know you're going to get there, but there is an illusion in front of you presently that says: "No way". When you're feeling down, you look at facts that say you're not going to make it. But there is always something inside you that never really gives up hope no matter how dire the situation is. The mark of a true champion. One day = Still I Rise
