John Reuben Album: The Boy vs. The Cynic Track: All I Have
All I Have Lyrics
Are you disappointed? Is this world a let down? With your head in the clouds It's time to get down Head on collision, crushed by dreams So we leave our hearts at the accident scene Shattered, pieces scattered Who told us it was okay to allow our thoughts to be flattered? And entertained with ideas that can't sustain A future once so confidently proclaimed So where do you go from here when it all disappears? Apathy dries your tears until you don't care Or you live and die, occupied with disclaimers And reasons as to why Realize, life isn't lived in fantasies No matter how much planning or strategy Joy comes along with tragedy I own them all gladly
I'm alright, I'm okay I kinda like doing things this way All I have is what God gives And that's all the life that I was meant to live I'm alright, I'm okay I kinda like doing things this way All I have is what God gives And that's all the life that I was meant to live
We're not taught trial and error We're not taught, nor are we prepared So we fail against everyday opponents All the while we're still living for glorious moments And the media feeds the youth a false reality Of what it takes to make yourself happy It says they got about a one in a billion shot Why try and make them think it's something that it's not This ain't a movie this is real life The spotlight don't shine quite as bright as some would like But that's alright cuz the starlight at night Is more of a highlight than the highlife The air I consume from the breath of creation Renews my soul everyday I awaken Ah man, tell me who knew That simply being content was the dream come true
I'm alright, I'm okay I kinda like doing things this way All I have is what God gives And that's all the life that I was meant to live I'm alright, I'm okay I kinda like doing things this way All I have is what God gives And that's all the life that I was meant to live (x3)
