I had to prove that I could make
it alone But that's not me I wanted
to show how independent I'd grown
now But that's not me I could
try to be big in the eyes of the
world What matters to me is what
I could be to just one girl I'm
a little bit scared Cause I haven't
been home in a long time You needed
my love And I know that I left at
the wrong time My folks when I wrote
them Told 'em what I was up to said
that's not me I went through all
kinds of changes Took a look at
myself and said that's not me I
miss my pad and the places I've known And
every night as I lay there alone
I will dream I once had a dream So
I packed up and split for the city I
soon found out that my lonely life
wasn't so pretty I'm glad I went
now I'm that much more sure that
we're ready I once had a dream So
I packed up and split for the city I
soon found out that my lonely life
wasn't so pretty I once had a
dream So I packed up and split for
the city I soon found out that my
lonely life wasn't so pretty
