Thank you to unreal_dm for posting another wonderful instrumental.

The music is 100% unreal_dm- I just sliced and diced to make it work for the lyrics…

Vocal Stems Wet & Dry

WORDS-
I remember a time when life felt hopeful
I remember a time when hope was effortless
I remember a time when effort felt natural
I remember a time when it felt natural to hope

Just an idealistic kid
Living for dreams
Just an idealistic kid
Believing possibilities
Whatever happened, whatever happened
To kill the dreams?

Life has a way of moving onward
Time was a way of slipping away
As it slips and we lose our feet
We fall, we fall downward- YAH!

Just an idealistic kid
Losing their way
Just and idealistic kid
Fading with each day
Whatever happened, whatever happened
To kill the dreams?

Life has a way of dying with each breath
Time has a way of continuing this mess
Have you become the walking dead?

Just an idealistic kid
With memories of dreams
Just an idealistic kid
Getting through each day
Just an idealistic kid
Among the living dead.
