Down But Not Yet Out Lyrics

I was feeling the strain of 20 years
I was saying well this is all there is
I was seeing my blood it dripped like tears
I was counting the cost of all my fears
So you wanted to be like me to be seen
So you wanted to rise from your darkest dream
So you wanted to be the things that I've been

Well let me tell you something
It's not what it seems
Let me give you advice
Hang onto your dreams

I was down but not yet out you see
I was riding the road to victory

So you see what I've got and that's for all
So you see this big man ain't so tall
You have to keep your feet down on the floor
Do you still want to be like me to be seen
Do you still want to rise from your darkest dream
Do you still want to be the things I've been

Well let me tell you something
It's not what it seems
Let me give you advice
Hang onto your dreams
Hang onto your dreams
Hang onto your dream
