Who Stole My Dream

Always wanted to be a hero But I am just another zero I don’t live in a mansion I can’t cope with fashion I don’t drive the car I desired I don’t have the job I aspired Dreamt I would be a doctor Thought I would be a lifesaver Papa wished I was a pilot But I’m only a failed poet Who stole my dream? X 4 As I step into the future I gotta be all so positive I gotta be all so decisive I gotta reclaim my glory Gotta shatter the shackles of poverty Gotta break the bonds of paucity I’m gonna rise from the ashes I’m gonna give my life a new meaning Build a fancy house, buy a fancy car Buy a fancy phone, marry a queen Travel first class, into the future
