[Intro]

May have been lost, but now we've been found

Finding our footing when dropped on the ground

Keep our heads up, and we can stay proud

Never stop dreaming on


[Verse 1]

Ever since I was a kid, I never stopped dreaming

Even in the hardest times, I never stopped feeling

We all struggle with ourselves and say we've got demons

But being loud is always better than us not speaking

I been beaten down, but snappin' back like a rubber band, like a dentist - how I'm hunting plaques

Hands shakе when we meet up, but I'm giving hugs when I'm coming back

Turn thе page like a fliporama - how I captain this in my underpants

Always thought I've been given answers, but I'm playing life like a button mash

So they don't see the work and love I put in everything I make

And though it seems to hurt, I'm proud of every move and risk I take

We learn to speak with words, so we can bound some eyes like ricochet

'Cause every new idea has got us lightin' up like cityscapes


[Chorus]

May have been lost, but now we've been found

Finding our footing when dropped on the ground

Keep our heads up, and we can stay proud

Never stop dreaming on

Show what we've got and keep our words loud

Climbing our way up and not looking down

We cannot stop, you hearing our sound

Never stop dreaming on


[Verse 2]

Uh, and every loss becomes the lesson, I've been sweating, I can't answer every question

Like I'm Sisyphus I'm giving this my all with no progression

I'm excited to be running, but regretting every session

If you're beating up yourself, that's time that's wasted on the present

So you make the choice to plant the seed, then all this is a part of me

They say we forging swords, but I'll be making the whole armory

And every word you think is bad's another person's masterpiece

I'm grateful for my life since the day I choked on mancala beads

I'm turning the page that I'm reading, uh

Words falling down like the paper is bleeding

Letters be gates to our feelings, uh

Tapestry taking the spec different meanings[?]

I may be short, but I'm breaking the ceiling

Too many things that are wasted on grieving

Music I make is a place for my healing

And I'm not afraid to put faith in my dreaming


[Chorus]

May have been lost, but now we've been found

Finding a footing with drops on the ground

Keep our heads up, and we can stay proud

Never stop dreaming on

Show what we've got and keep our words loud

Climbing our way up and not looking down

We can not stop, you hearing our sound

Never stop dreaming on


[Bridge]

I feel so lonely in my own head

My mind's a poison and it's begging for a slow death

All I feel is guilt for my success, but I don't know best

I have to keep on working, so I find out where I'll go next

We rising up on mountains, and our dreams are send us to the stars

Even if our purpose is discovering just who we are

We're in this together, so we can't forget to do our part

We're bound by flesh and blood that keeps on beating through our human hearts


[Chorus]

May have been lost, but now we've been found

Finding a footing with drops on the ground

Keep our heads up, and we can stay proud

Never stop dreaming on

May have been lost, but now we've been found

Finding a footing with drops on the ground

Keep our heads up, and we can stay proud

Never stop dreaming on

Show what we've got and keep our words loud

Climbing our way up and not looking down

We can not stop, you hearing our sound

Never stop dreaming on
