One heart like a lion, still my pals shut me down
They laugh in my face, you know they need a clown
I swing from the trees, to my parallel bars
I feel so removed, like being from Mars

Oh, I miss love like water, when all there is coke
I dull the pain with hard liquor and smoke
Bet my best friend I'd be dead at 23
And I lost 'cause of one thing my Father said to me

He said, "Son, I brought you here to dream
Life's not what the World would have it seem
The call of the wild makes you a believer
I brought you into this World to be a dreamer"

Always did love protection, I took my Father's advice
Soon my mind was being massaged, by friends once cold as ice
Tried to take it serious, in the end I was barely amused
I realized that Papa's thoughts, was the only ones I could use

He said, "Son, I brought you here to dream
Life's not what the World would have it seem
The call of the wild makes you a believer
I brought you into this World to be a dreamer"
