Intro: I want to get back I want to get square   I want to get back all the hopes and the dreams that I had That the good lord above us can’t spare   Like that actor said I don’t want to lose heart I don’t want to get beat beat down by the big big world   Or quit before I even start Lord I just want my life to be true And I just want my heart to be true And I just want my words to be true I want my soul to feel brand new I want to hold hands yeah Yeah and I want make love   I want to keep running all day and and all night Even when my mind tells my body that’s enough And I want to stand up yeah and I want to stand tall If I ever have a son if I ever have a daughter I don’t want to tell them that I didn’t give my all And I just want my life to be true I just want my heart to be true   I just want my words to be true I want my soul to feel brand brand new Like a fresh coat of paint   We can make it anything but blue Anything but blue Now when your dreams start saying I can’t come true   You’d be better off without me   Don’t let em go don’t let em go I don’t want to go broke not from one bad deal   I don’t want to be up all night crying in my hands For a girl that isn’t even real Lord I just want my life to be true And I just want my heart to be true And I just want my words to be true   And I just want my song to be true   And I just want my heart to be true And I just want my life to be true And I just want my words to be true And I just want my heart to be true And I just want my life to be true   And I just want my song to be true   And I just want my life to be true I want my soul to feel brand new   I want my soul to feel brand new
