"God Save The Dream" lyrics

There once was a young boy
And he picked up a guitar
It was bigger than he was
When he played, he felt
Like he never thought he'd feel
Like the songs became a shield

And it put 'em up on stages
Lit up a thousand faces
Oh, it was magical, he couldn't get enough
Then all the hungry vultures
Tempted and with indulgence
They took him under their wings

They talk about money, talk about fame
Tell you you'll never make it with your real name
Pointing at numbers on a wide screen
I pray they're never getting under your skin

God save the dream
God save the dream

But at once, it all changed
And the faces turned to dust
There was no one he could trust
And the young boy, he got lost
And never feeling good enough
He'd forgotten what he was

And now all the hungry vultures
Have found themselves another
To take in under their wings

They talk about money, talk about fame
Tell you you'll never make it with your real name
Pointing at numbers on a wide screen
I pray they're never getting under your skin

God save the dream
God save the dream
God save the dream
God save the dream
God save the dream
God save the dream
