I always told myself
I'd never be the one
To let the summer colors control me
But what I didn't know
Was that everything
Was changing around me

That's when I found myself
A lonely walk back home
Where the trail was all but dead
I slowly walked along
Until the air reached my head

I'm just a boy with a dream
To make gold out of all that life brings
To be the best at any and everything
I'm just a boy with a dream
To make gold out of all that life brings
To be the best at any and everything

I started writing this song
When I thought I had it all figured out
But before I got to verse one
There was plenty I knew nothing about

I always told myself
That I wouldn't stay this way
So I looked up at the windows
And reflected back on my faith

I found something to believe in
But it wasn't high in the sky
I thought it lived in my dreams
Until the day I brought it to life

I'm just a boy with a dream
To make gold out of all that life brings
To be the best at any and everything
I'm just a boy with a dream
To make gold out of all that life brings
To be the best at any and everything

The sun peaked in through the windows
And listened as I prayed
The walls tore themselves apart
And I faced the mess I had made
The warm breeze told me to give in
As it snuck its way through the cracks
I felt my heart pound in my chest
And felt the guilt destroying my back

I followed you to the end of the ocean
Where I found a way to be real
Where I left all my insecurities
And I knew just how to feel.
When you washed up there on the shoreline
With desperation in your eyes
You told me I could trust you
And I told you all my lies

I'm just a boy with a dream
To make gold out of all that life brings
To be the best at any and everything
I'm just a boy with a dream
To make gold out of all that life brings
To be the best at any and everything

I always told myself
I'd never be the one
To let the summer colors control me
