about
I co-wrote this song with two brilliant artists who originate from Georgia in the Middle East, called Anana Kaya and Irakli Gabriel. We wrote it together in Nashville, TN in 2019 on one of my song-writing trips. I hope you like it:)
lyrics
V1:
Hey I’m here
I’m new and I watch them watching over you
Hey I’m here
Hey I hear
I hear you scream but your mouth is shut
Pre:
Living in this day my friend took me astray to a land that still claims to be free
Chasing a home, now there’s nowhere to go, all that green but there’s nothing to see.
Am I alone here?
Seeing both sides of Stars & Stripes
Chorus:
The dream is wasting away
The dream is wasting away
The dream is wasting away
The dream is wasting away
V2:
Hey they cheated you again
They promised you change
They dig for gold as they dig their graves
Pre:
Living in this day my friend took me astray to a land that still claims to be free
Chasing a home, now there’s nowhere to go, all that green but there’s nothing to see.
Am I alone here?
Seeing both sides of Stars & Stripes
Chorus:
The dream is wasting away
The dream is wasting away
The dream is wasting away
The dream is wasting away
Bridge:
Power does the trick each time
You speak up they call it crime
The sunshine never eases down on us
Chorus:
The dream is wasting away
The dream is wasting away
The dream is wasting away
The dream is wasting away
