The Price of a Dream Lyrics

I crossed the sea I left the land

With nothing more than calloused hands

A heart of hope a mind of fear

Wondering if I belong here

I pick the fruit they love to taste

I build their towers leave no trace

I watch their cities touch the sky

But in their eyes I'm not alive

What is the price of a dream?

Is it the blood the sweat unseen?

I work I bend I break I bleed

Still they don't look at me

I send my love across the miles

To little hands to lonely smiles

They call my name but I'm not there

Just working jobs they wouldn't dare

I clean their halls I mend their streets

I sew the clothes I plant the seeds

I keep the world from falling down

Yet they still wish I wasn't around

What is the price of a dream?

Is it the blood the sweat unseen?

I work I bend I break I bleed

Still they don't look at me

If home was safe I'd never leave

But hunger steals and hearts must grieve

I fight for more than just my name

Yet all they give me is their blame
