Lyric

Workin’ late, lights burnin’ low

Boss says “smile,” but he don’t know

Ticket’s gone, I’m stuck behind

Can’t help wonderin’ why luck’s so unkind

Keep my head down, swallow pride

Wear this grin with pain inside

Fake it till I make it through

But the dam’s about to break on you

Sunflower bendin’ in the heat

Summer’s drought, no relief

But the way you keep on growin’

Gives me hope, keeps me goin’

Chasin’ sunlight, reachin’ high

They can laugh, but I won’t hide

And when one dream comes alive

Another starts to rise

Break time comes, but peace won’t stay

Branded “driven,” truth’s I’m afraid

Droppin’ loads I can’t let show

Turn my stompin’ into flow

Chains I’m draggin’, turn to beat

Heart recycles every need

Battery twisted, soul’s still full

Charged with fire, out of control

Sunflower standin’ in the rain

Lonely nights bring the pain

But you never fight with hate

You lift me up, change my fate

Chasin’ sunlight, reachin’ high

Let ‘em talk, I’ll live my life

And when one dream comes alive

Another starts to rise

Take it easy, they call me out

That’s when the storm comes back around

Even brothers I drank with fade

Act like they forgot those days

Life’s a quilt, stitched with scars

Lose my job, drown in hours

Thrown away, driftin’ blind

Haunted by the crack in my spine

Sunflower silent in the night

Lonely hours test my fight

But love ain’t what you take

It’s what you give, the love you make

Chasin’ sunlight, reachin’ high

Yeah, it’s messy, but we’ll get by

And when one dream comes alive

Another starts to rise
