I'll Never Abandon My Dream

Bring all your thoughts to the garden

And leave all your worries behind

I’m planning to act as your pardon

From this moment on, down the line

 

Wipe all the weight from your eyelids

And look at the world as it is

Put down your guns and your high bids

For you are not yours, hers, or his

 

Live like you’re earning a profit

And savor the breath in your lungs

Consider your motive, and stop it

No more, shall you kill with your tongues

 

The grass is so high; the moon is so low

And baby, we’re stuck in between

I may say yes, and you may say no

But I’ll never abandon my dream
