Lyrics
[Verse]
Up at dawn chasing shadows in the dust
Steel in my hands and faith in my rust
Dreams ain’t free no gold in this ground
The harder I run the further I’m bound
[Chorus]
Burning the candle burning the night
Fighting for the dream till it feels right
Teaching my kids to love the Lord’s hand
While the devil waits in this weary land
[Verse 2]
Sweat on my brow my soul’s on the line
Trading my youth for a clock that won’t rewind
They call it the dream but it’s a heavy load
The weight of the promise the price of the road
[Prechorus]
I keep running I keep breaking
My back my heart both aching
[Chorus]
Burning the candle burning the night
Fighting for the dream till it feels right
Teaching my kids to love the Lord’s hand
While the devil waits in this weary land
[Bridge]
Fire in my veins but my spirit bends
Prayers for mercy as the daylight ends
Tired but I’m trying through the ache and the sin
The fight for tomorrow just won’t let me win
