i've been hanging on by a prayer
hanging on by a thread
hanging on by a dream
dangling off the
and if i lose my grip
watch me slip
let me fall
i will still reach the finish line if i crawl
i'm hoping you think about me
hope you wish me the best
i'm hoping i find the words i need to get off my chest
aim for my head or chest
if you're wishing me death
wish no evil upon me
just empty that clip instead
i'm a step away from a failure
day away from success
i've been learning to bite the bullet
thrive when i'm under stress
never suffered a loss
that i couldn't have learned from
you win some you lose some you spend some you earn some
this passion that i burn from
watch it all consume me
see me up on t.v.
tell em all that you knew me
Lord promise to use me
or render me useless
i'm hanging on for life
point me to where the truth is
and the truth is
i never thought i had it in me to do this
i want the grey skies of dallas illuminated
the grey skies of dallas illuminated
yeah yeah now see the truth is
i got this feeling i can't afford to lose it
i want the grey skies of dallas illuminated
the grey skies of dallas illuminated
if you're hanging on by a prayer
or hanging on by a thread
the difficulty's determined by how you angle your head
keep your head to the stars i know you'll make it alive
plus what's the worst that could happen?
you lose it all then you die?
laugh in the face of danger
laugh in the face of death
laugh at all of your burdens
and laugh when you see your ex
laugh at her new man
laugh at his new girl
this morning i saw the city i swear its a new world
my kicks are brand new
my tank is in the middle
when i look at my life
my problems become little
ha...and when my money's so big
i'll buy my girl a ring and my parents a new crib
yeah...that all my people can live in
i don't know how to cook but i know i can make a living
yeah...i mean we all gotta dream right?
things go wrong so long nothing else seems right
and the truth is
i never thought i had it in me to do this
i want the grey skies of dallas illuminated
the grey skies of dallas illuminated
yeah yeah now see the truth is
i got this feeling i can't afford to lose it
i want the grey skies of dallas illuminated
the grey skies of dallas illuminated
yeah...i mean we all gotta dream right?
things go wrong so long nothing else seems right
