Many years ago
I made a decision
A change that wrecked my dreams
And I’ve no one else to blame
But the man in the mirror
The face I see before me
A child so filled with fear
Hiding from failure
The pressure built inside
With my back against the wall
Emotions taking over
To my dreams, I said goodbye
Broken dreams
Now I count the cost
Broken dreams
And I realize what I’ve lost
I’m a man with broken dreams
Everyone makes mistakes
But a wise man learns from others
The past cannot be changed
All my childhood dreams are gone
But fate will bring another
The hope will keep me sane
Broken dreams
Now I count the cost
Broken dreams
And I realize what I’ve lost
I’m a man with broken dreams
Broken dreams
Now I pay the price
Broken dreams
For the rest of my life
I’m a man with broken dreams
