Lyric

I built my home on honesty

From stones that hope carried

But the world turned its back

Said: no such story can be made

Dreams misunderstood

Dyed gray when they shone brightly

I reached for the light

They claimed it was the wrong choice

Dreams misunderstood

But I won't bury them dead

I gave my voice, I gave my years

I traded silence for tears

Yet my story was written in foreign words

As if I were another person

Dreams misunderstood

Dyed gray when they shone brightly

I reached for the light

They claimed it was the wrong one

Dreams misunderstood

But I won't bury them dead

If I fall, I won't fall quietly

If I burn, I'll light a raging flame

The truth was mine, they didn't seen

I carve it in stone, a permanent mark

Dreams misunderstood

Dyed gray when they shone brightly

I reached for the light

Claimed it was the wrong choice

Dreams misunderstood…

And yet I hold my head high
