True Story's Love

[Verse] In the land of the free, where the dreams run wild There's a tale of a man, with a heart like a child He was born to be great, or so he was told But the road to success, it's a story untold [Chorus] Oh, he's chasing the American Dream But it's not as easy as it may seem The ladder's high and the climb is steep And the price of fame, it don't come cheap [Verse] Now he's riding high, on a wave of success But the higher you climb, the harder you fall, I guess The power and the money, they can change a man Make him forget about his family, and where it all began [Chorus] Oh, he's living the American Dream But it's not as golden as it may seem The world's a stage and we're all just players And the final act, well, it's getting nearer [Verse] Then one day he wakes up, and he's all alone In a kingdom of gold, sitting on his throne He's got everything, but nothing at all And he finally sees, pride comes before a fall [Chorus] Oh, the American Dream, it can turn to dust When you put your faith in things that rust All the power and the glory, it fades away And in the end, it's just another day [Verse] So he packed up his bags, and he headed back home To the place where his heart has always known He may not have fame, or fortune to his name But he's got something more, a love that will remain [Chorus] Oh, he's chasing a different dream One that's true and pure, if you know what I mean It's not about the gold or the glory It's about the love, that's the real story
