Lyrics
Broken Dreams
Words and music by Andru Branch © 2021, Constant Spring Music and Publishing
I followed my dreams
To the end of the rainbow
Through rivers and streams
Still I’ve never found no pot of gold
And now I’m older than before
Just follow your bliss they’d say
You can become anything you want
In the world today
You just can’t miss
If you put the time and effort in
You can win
And be a winner
I made up my mind
To go through anything
Come what may
Seek and ye shall find yourself
At the edge of your destiny or fate
I kept my faith
Now all I’m left with are these tears
Upon my face
And on my pillow
Coming apart at the seams
Indeed nothing is what it seems
Through broken dreams
The sad clown laughs
At the fat ballerina
As she holds her head in shame
And she cries in the mirror
The old man laments at the journey before him
Maybe they’ll still care
As he fades into oblivion
I wanna make my mark
I want to make a difference
Got a legacy to leave
And no time to grieve
Believe, Believe
Believe me when I say
What you put in is what you get out
What you put in is not what you get out
What you put in is what you get out
What you put in gonna make you scream and shout
One way in and no way out
Still I never left no room for doubt
Now I twist and shout
I followed my path
Upon this wind and longing road
Somewhere over the rainbow
Still I never found no pot of gold
And now I’m old
