Hopes and Dreams

It’ll never be easy I know that
But I'm making it better than this babe
Didn’t get through all of the hard times
Didn’t survive all of the pain
Just to give up this easy
On my hopes and on my dreams
I'm the one who determines
What it’s gonna mean

They don’t know what I’ve got
Cause they don’t know where I came from
They don’t know what I’ve got
Or see the ways that I'm changing
And baby I'm changing
Yes I am

I'm changing the way that I talk to myself in the morning
I'm changing the things that I do when I'm trying to get high
Oh, I'm changing the way that I drink
And the way that I think
And the way I see myself, I
One step at a time

They don’t know what I’ve got
Cause they don’t know where I came from
They don’t know what I’ve got
Or see the ways that I'm changing
And baby I'm changing
Yes I am

Do you feel it changing
See the obstacles rearranging
For you
And that you’ve been through
For you
And all that you’ve been through

It’ll never be easy I know that
But I'm making it better than this babe
Didn’t get through all of the hard times
Didn’t survive all of the pain
Just to give up this easy
On my hopes and on my dreams
I'm the one who determines
What it’s gonna mean

They don’t know what I’ve got
Or see the ways that I'm changing
