[Verse 1] I feel like shame It sits in my chest I smile too hard But I never confess I can not try To explain this pain It drips like salt On a cracked-up name What you call my pain I call my night I keep on walking With a bent-up light My hands stay shaking My voice stays small But I still stand there When the shadows call [Pre-Chorus] Lord forgive me Lord forgive me I hold this storm Inside of me I shall not go Under my heart I open up Even torn apart [Chorus] One little dream (one little dream) One little dream (one little dream) Open my hand Let it breathe, let it live One little dream That is all I give [Verse 2] I wore that guilt Like a second skin Tried to be clean With the war within But every bruise Tells a story too I was not born Just to break in two So I spit my fear On a paper floor And I kick that doubt Right out the door If I fall again I fall with truth A heavy heart Still hunts for youth [Pre-Chorus] Lord forgive me Lord forgive me I hold this storm Inside of me I shall not go Under my heart I open up Even torn apart [Chorus] One little dream (one little dream) One little dream (one little dream) Open my hand Let it breathe, let it live One little dream That is all I give [Bridge] Maybe I was lost For a little while Maybe pain can bend But it can't kill my fire I hear my own name Through the wreckage now Not a perfect man But I still know how [Final Chorus] One little dream (one little dream) One little dream (one little dream) Open my hand Let it breathe, let it live One little dream That is all I give One little dream (one little dream) I rise, I rise From the hurt I lived
