Teardrop in the Ocean Lyrics

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?
