I've climbed the first step
Of the stairway to heaven
Every move that I make
I learn a new ugly lesson
You inspired a dream
Won't you let me fulfill it?
(I'm pushing back the urges of a broken heart)
I'm one step closer, I'm one day older
And I'm chasing down this hope of mine until it tears me apart
I refuse to let my mindset control me
The doubter has her hold, but she's never gonna own me
And I know I'm usually wrong
But this dreamer will carry on
When all is said and done
I'll be alright in the long run
Memories and anxiety make a vicious team
You flaunt your glowing lifestyle and you watch me turn green
And I know I've got a chance, 'cause there are tears in my eyes
(When I leapt for the sun, I only got burnt)
I know that I could make it
Please tell me that I'll make it
You thought I would give up
But haven't you heard?
I refuse to let my mindset control me
The doubter has her hold, but she's never gonna own me
And I know I'm usually wrong
But this dreamer will carry on
When all is said and done
I'll be alright in the long run
Crawl through the crevice of a broken home
Tie down your opinions and claim them as your own
You're one step closer, you're one day older
We'll take over the world under the light of a new throne
I refuse to let my mindset control me
The doubter has her hold, but she's never gonna own me
And I know I'm usually wrong
But this dreamer will carry on
When all is said and done
I'll be alright in the long run
