A Song For Them All

Dream on you dreamers with nothing to face but the world
Tired, haggard eyes they come to no surprise
When you're fighting with the devil boys and girls
Pennies come and dollars go, you never reap quite what you sow
But you still break your back to earn your pay
You'd never understand it and you never could quite stand it
But it's your turn to keep the wolves at bay

Love on you lovers with nothing else to think or care about
You try because you want to not because you think you ought to
'Cause that's what makes your world spin around
You hope and dream about one day and often times can't help but pray
That everything will all turn out alright
You keep your love from growing old just like you were always told
But it's hard when you have a heart like mine

I want to go home but I'm scared to be alone
'Cause the liquor ain't working like it should
And I try so hard but I always fall a little shorter than I would
If I was all that I'm chalked up to be then I'd kill myself to be a better me

Fight on you fighters with nothing else to stand but your ground
You keep getting hit but you never want to quit
'Cause thats the only peace that you have found
You stand up on your own two feet when life brings you to your knees
'Cause that's the way that you were always raised
Let me tell you now son you won't quit until you think you've won
That sort of thinking sends you to your grave

I want to go home but I'm scared to be alone
'Cause the liquor ain't working like it should
And I try so hard but I always fall a little shorter than I would
If I was all that I'm chalked up to be then I'd kill myself to be a better me

It's hard to let go when you put in all that work
And it's hard to hold on to all that stupid hurt
People come and go like the water in the spring but they never stick around
'Cause I ain't quite what I seem
