I'm a teardrop in the ocean waters
Every time it rains I just get smaller
Can anyone hear me crying out?
Or do the crashing waves drown out the sound?
The odds aren't in my favor
People tell me that I'm one of a kind
But they say the same to everyone everywhere
And they tell me that I'm going places someday
But how the hell am I supposed to get there?
I feel like everyone has more talent than me
So why am I even chasing this dream? Oh
I'm just a speck of dust in the world
But I wanna do this, I want it so bad
Walking down the city streets at night
Dreaming of one day seeing my name in lights
No one in front of me has done this before
No one can lead me to what I'm looking for
All I know is how to turn pain into art
People tell me that I'm one of a kind
But they say the same to everyone everywhere
And they tell me that I'm going places someday
But how the hell am I supposed to get there?
I feel like everyone has more talent than me
So why am I even chasing this dream? Oh
I'm just a speck of dust in the world
But I wanna do this, I want it so bad
I just wanna say I'm sorry Mom and Dad
If I never became the son you thought you would have
No I'm not a doctor and I couldn't cure cancer
I never will become a world leader
I'm not the star on a football team
And I'm not the star in a blockbuster movie
I'm just a guy with a piano and a hopeless dream
I'm not giving up but sometimes I feel like I should
'Cause if I don't believe in myself how will anyone else?
Will I ever be more than a teardrop in the ocean waters?
