Brian B. - Young and Proud Lyrics

Sometimes I feel so hollow
Helpless paralysed with doubt
I often feel this pain
So bad it makes me cry out loud

Sometimes I feel like I'm
An actor on TV
Playing the part of a man
That I know I'll never be

I thought it would turn out better
I thought it would all work out
But sometimes life just ain't the dream
You had when you were young and proud

My world's like a book I read
Lost so deep in every page
People round me love and live
But my soul's locked up in a cage

I run so far I run so fast
But never get to where I go
I see the sun, I see the rose
See happiness I'll never know

I thought it would turn out better
I thought it would all work out
But sometimes life just ain't the dream
You had when you were young and proud

Sleep is all I hope for
When the day has beaten me
Close my eyes and run away
To a place I'll never be

A dream is like a window
That can let the fresh air in
But my dream turned to a nightmare
Like this life I'll never win

I thought it would turn out better
I thought it would all work out
But sometimes life just ain't the dream
You had when you were young and proud

Sometimes life just ain't the dream
You had when you were young and proud
