He was staying up late for longer than he ever needed,
Drunk when the clock struck four in the afternoon,
Felt Fairly well when the sun came out but when the night began to fall,
The moonlight knew what was really going on,
He would stir all night and cough when he began to settle,
Thought that a single smoke might pass the time,
The beating off the talent drum weighed heavy on his mind,
Worried that one day he'd be left behind,
He was born to run,
Raised to hide,
There he was,
Doing it all his life,
He was close enough,
But failed to rise from the flames,
So the ashes remained,
He would go on down to the water's edge,
Try to dip his toes in the passing tide,
Calling out to kingdom come to leave behind a sign,
Or a flicker of the moment when he could shine,
He was born to run,
Raised to hide,
There he was,
Doing it all his life,
He was close enough,
But failed to rise from the flames,
So the ashes remained,
He grew weary and he grew tired,
Because he stayed awake all night,
Waiting for something that may never come,
Waiting for something that may never come
No single person in this world can make your dreams come true,
Not a single person but You.
