17 and Dreaming

[Verse] Seventeen and dreaming World seems rough and cold Schoolmates they are screaming But he's got stories to be told [Verse 2] Past the spite and laughter He keeps his head held high He's a future master Reaching for the sky [Chorus] He smiles through the pain Dreams won't go in vain He smiles through the strife Hope fuels his life [Verse 3] Whispers in the hallway Faces sneer and jest But he's found his own way Knows that he'll be blessed [Verse 4] From the midnight wishing To the morning light Every step he's taking Closer to his flight [Chorus] He smiles through the pain Dreams won't go in vain He smiles through the strife Hope fuels his life
