A shapeless piece of steel
That's all I claim to be
This hammer pounds to give me form
This flame, it melts my dreamsI glow with fire and fury
As I'm twisted like a vine
My final shape, my final form
I'm sure I'm bound to findSo dream a little
Dream for me
In hopes that I'll remainAnd cry a little
Cry for me
So I can bear the flames
And hurt a little
Hurt for me
My future is untoldBut my dreams are not the issue here
For they, the hammer holdsAnd the water, it cools me gray
And the hurt's subdued somehow
I have my shape, this sharpened point
What is my purpose now?And the question still remains
What am I to be?
Perhaps some perfect piece of art
Displayed for all to seeSo dream a little
Dream for me
In hopes that I'll remain
And cry a little
Cry for me
So I can bear the flamesAnd hurt a little
Hurt for me
My future is untoldBut my dreams are not the issue here
For they, the hammer holdsThe hammer pounds again
But flames I do not feel
This force that drives me, helplessly
Through flesh and wood revealA burn that burns much deeper
It's more than I can stand
The reason for my life was to take
The life of a guiltless manSo dream a little
Dream for me
In hopes that I'll remainAnd cry a little
Cry for me
So I can bear the painAnd hurt a little
Hurt for me
My future is so boldBut my dreams are not the issue here
For they, the hammer holdsThis task before me may seem unclear
But it, my maker holds
