I had dreams once, but then I woke up  Reality hit me, I should have spoke up  What's mine is theirs now – they took it away  I'm back where I started and here I'll stay    Trust too much, you're sure to get burned  Hear what I say now – it's a lesson hard-learned    [CHORUS:]  I'm here now, an artist reborn  I reach again for the rose having been pricked by the  Thorn  I'm stronger and here now to stay  The world knocked me down but my dreams still remain    Some people helped me, but more people lied  Most just ignored me while I sat and cried  Some tried to reach out but were pushed away  I could have fought back but I was afraid    But it's my life, it's my dreams – it's their hopes and  Schemes  I was used as the pawn instead of the queen    [CHORUS]    I've found what I need now, I've started again  I'm here to stay – I've left all of them...
