Gomorrah - Driven Hard lyrics

rate me

My dreams are not my master<br />

My thoughts are not my aim<br />

Triumph balance with disaster<br />

Two impostors one and the same<br />

<br />

I have heard the truth I've spoken<br />

Twisted now a trap for fools<br />

I have had my life's work broken<br />

To start again with worn out tools<br />

Held my winnings in one hand<br />

And risk them on a single horse<br />

Lose and start at my beginning<br />

And never tell about my loss<br />

<br />

Driven hard, mind, heart and body<br />

When all is gone<br />

Held on still even tighter<br />

To my will which screams to me 'Hold on'<br />

I've kept my head when those about me<br />

Losing theirs on me they blame<br />

Trust myself when other doubt me<br />

Allow their doubting all the same<br />

Driven hard, mind, heart and soul<br />

To the point when all is whole<br />

<br />

Driven hard, my heart<br />

Driven hard, my soul<br />

Driven hard, is the way that I see this world<br />

<br />

I have waited and not grown bored<br />

Lied about, not dealt in lies<br />

Some men hate me but I not them<br />

Don't look too good nor talk too wise<br />

<br />

Talked with crowds and kept my virtue<br />

A common touch<br />

Friend nor foe can ever hurt me<br />

All men count with me but none too much<br />

I fill each and every hour<br />

With sixty minutes of distance run<br />

Knowing that no man can touch me<br />

Gazing straight into the sun<br />

Mine is the world and all within<br />

And, which is more, I'm a man my son<br />

<br />

Driven hard, my heart<br />

Driven hard, my soul<br />

Driven hard, is the way that I see this world
