Mais uma do trabalho "The clockmaker's dream"



Letra:

We were a family with no money
But my parents never failed to bring in food
I was unemployed, and couldn’t buy me a guitar
An old acoustic guitar and my voice helped me to work

My grandfather almost made me to give up, saying I had no talent
But I resisted all discouragements dreaming day after day
People came and went in my life
Then I found true friends that made me continue

We drank all the drinks, and spend sleepless nights
We proved all the sins and resisted
We lost a dear friend along the way
We opened the gates of hell, but we apologize for nothing

We made music and friends on a long road
We had fun on every step of the way
We tasted everything we could imagine
After all I came back home, and felt lonely

My band broke up from so many fights
I made some wrong choices along the way
Many times we have failed
But then I found the reason

Maybe I never loved
But I found what I wanted
In the arms of my lady I was happy
And year after year I am

I woke up from the dream
That seemed more like a nightmare
And again I found my lost friends,
We made music again,
This time with our feet on the ground
And we’re happy since then

Today I'm not a rock star, and I never will be
But I am a father of two beautiful children
And I make a living playing my guitar,
And singing my songs

People learn a few lessons from me
In the same place I call home
I can't complain about anything
I didn’t leave anything behind
I saw all things get out of place
And they fit perfectly again after a while

We work together, looking forward
The world has changed, but people remain the same
If I were to repeat it all over again, I would
I love the place I am today
