babe--
tell me i can get there if i work hard enough
i used to climb mountains,
but now i *** in cups
i work so hard to make ends meet
and i can be so pathetic
but i know that i could die,
and i feel so incomplete.

this one is not extraordinary
but i wrote it down for you
maybe someone feeling trapped like me
will find it and be moved
if i die before i reach the stars
just know i didn't stop
day in and out, i worked so hard
that's where i want to be.

sometimes you're just a tiny spark
in a world that's wet and cold
you're dreaming of a fire
you just know it could take hold

you dream of it by night and hope
against all odds you'll see
the fire you already are
believe, believe, believe
