Bold

Spoke clever words when the room was filled.
Heard my words and they were thrilled.
Reached the other side and didn't fall
when i walked the rope for one more call.

They say success belongs to me.
cause I chased shadows I thought were free.
Dug in the ground these hands of mine.
Can't stop now when it's almost mine
some days dirty, some days clean
fooled them all even me it seems.
Fought and cried and pushed my soul
so sure the answers were in that goal.

more than a few dollars in the vault
things go wrong it's someone else's fault.
and though i rarely miss a meal
So hungry that I'd kill and steal
if it meant that i would get to you.
i could get there if i only knew

where to go
wish i could know
who you are
cause you can't be far
and different as i might possibly be
it makes no sense that them and me
aren't brothers enough the same
somebody's gotta call my name.

yeah i sound good on the microphone
look good when the spotlights shone
i can be so very bold
but tomorrow i'm just another day old
and i just want someone to hold.
I just want someone to hold.
