My Kind Of Weathered

Every Man Has A Dream

Master Collection

I never Shall Forget The Day

Verse 1
As a child, I’d look to the heavens, wondering how high was the blue,
Dreaming of soaring far beyond, believing it’s something I’d do.
No one had to tell me how, I would just float about,
I knew I’d fly, I knew I’d soar, of that there was no doubt.
Chorus
Don’t let them paint your wings with lead, don’t let them weigh you down,
Hold on to dreams you used to have, don’t let them make you drown.
The sky’s still there, it’s yours to find, don’t listen to what they’ve said,
Hold tight to hope, and don’t let go—don’t let them paint your wings with lead.
Verse 2
I was a dreamer, bold and free, no limits held me down,
There was no mountain I couldn’t climb, no room for fear or frown.
The world was wide, my wings were light, and I knew nothing but the sky,
But time came creeping slowly in, making me question why.
Chorus
Don’t let them paint your wings with lead, don’t let them weigh you down,
Hold on to dreams you used to have, don’t let them make you drown.
The sky’s still there, it’s yours to find, don’t listen to what they’ve said,
Hold tight to hope, and don’t let go—don’t let them paint your wings with lead.
Verse 3
Time is cruel if you live long enough to feel it slip away,
Some of us will chase the clouds, some of us will stay.
The sky that once seemed endless now feels so far and high,
And some of us will never have the chance to truly fly.
Verse 4
I look back now and see the wings I thought I always had,
Flight was never impossible, it never seemed that bad.
But school came in, the books were read, and soon I was told,
There’s no room for dreams that big, no room to be that bold.
Chorus
Don’t let them paint your wings with lead, don’t let them weigh you down,
Hold on to dreams you used to have, don’t let them make you drown.
The sky’s still there, it’s yours to find, don’t listen to what they’ve said,
Hold tight to hope, and don’t let go—don’t let them paint your wings with lead.
Verse 5
The world began to weigh me down, filling my head with doubt,
They taught me limits, rules, and fear—what life was all about.
My dreams were small, my mind was caged, my imagination dead,
In time I let the world paint my wings with lead.
Verse 6
But don’t let people hold you back, don’t let them pull you down,
Some will try to lift you up, but others let you drown.
They’ll tell you what you cannot do, and steal the light you’ve found,
But never let the darkness keep you tethered to the ground.
Chorus
Don’t let them paint your wings with lead, don’t let them weigh you down,
Hold on to dreams you used to have, don’t let them make you drown.
The sky’s still there, it’s yours to find, don’t listen to what they’ve said,
Hold tight to hope, and don’t let go—don’t let them paint your wings with lead.
Verse 7
Don’t ever let them fill your head with the weight of what they said,
And never let the world around you paint your wings with lead.
Remember those days of endless skies, and hold your dreams instead,
Because the child who knew to fly is never truly dead.
