Tumbleweed

[Intro] We all grew up on the same little corner, on the same little block, of the same little town Life offered everything it needed to keep us down Don’t have to look for trouble its just around We found some peace though, when the summer breeze would blow And we’d climb up the apricot trees and eat slow And talk about all the places that we’d go and what it felt like, we bought our mom a dream home Man, what I could do if I got in that position The chance to make a difference when the whole world listens They used to laugh and say that I was s dreamer I was never mad cause deep down inside I never believed that I could do it either I used to watch the tumble weeds leave my neighborhood They never turned back, passing through the trees beneath us And then I watched one disappear and it was understood exactly just what I had to do to achieve it Packing my bags was the hardest thing I ever did Felt like I was turning my back on the past, well, I chased the future But I got to take a chance on me and that’s what it is And I pray that one day you’ll do the same that you believe it And time will shorten the distance of this dirt beneath us And that you get to live the dreams that you used to speak of And that you never give in when life starts to beat up And that you don’t get caught up when the streets heat up They told me never turn you back on the ones who really need ya And you always stay on path even when down seems up They can’t break us with the amount of love we got There’s plenty to share, bring your fountain cup [Verse 1] Check it The very first time that I looked in your eyes Something changed inside of me for the rest of my life I had to protect you Shield you from all the bad the world had to offer Learn how to be a good dad It’s the most important job that I’ve ever had, and will And it makes me sad inside cause the world that you live in is ill I still feel it could be changed, maybe you’ll be the one to do it I promise I’ll always be a positive influence And never steer you wrong no matter how out of control it all gets I’ll pick you up I’ll battle the world for you (I’ll chase all the bad away, I’ll come and save the day) [Chorus] I’ll be your superhero I’ll catch you before it crashes I’m never gonna come down landing Only gonna go up, only gonna go up My heads in the clouds I don’t see the ground And it may come crashing down on me one day but My heads in the clouds I don’t see the ground And it may come crashing down on me one day but not now [Verse 2] There will come a day when you wanna fly away You were born to fly no matter how much I want you to stay Just remember anything you want you can have it Don’t be afraid to work hard at it People come and go, hard times do the same Stay true to yourself The illusion is plain Life is beautiful Sometimes life is pain Just remember you're never alone in the rain, know that [Chorus] I’ll be your superhero I’ll catch you before it crashes I’m never gonna come down landing Only gonna go up, only gonna go up My heads in the clouds I don’t see the ground And it may come crashing down on me one day but My heads in the clouds I don’t see the ground And it may come crashing down on me one day but not now
