"Don't You Cry For Me"

I've done a lot of stuff

Seems like I just can't get enough
But there's a constant theme
Seems you never know what I mean

I want to smell the sea
And feel a wave breaking over me
I want to touch a star
And win a race in a real fast car

But don't you cry for me

Plastic dreams are my soliloquy

I bet you'll never know

I did it all on a TV show

I'll try and thumb a ride

Take the day with an easy stride

I want to touch the sky

And climb a mountain thats really high

I want to touch a dove

And let the world feel all it's love 

And then it's all undone

Like ice cream melting in the summer sun

But don't you cry for me

Plastic dreams are my soliloquy

I bet you'll never know

I did it all on a TV show

I need to say a prayer

Seems like life's not always fair

But don't you cry for me

Cry for my friends that we'll never see

I've done a lot of stuff

Afghanistan was really rough

It's where I lost my leg

And got a Purple Heart instead

But don't you cry for me

Plastic dreams are my soliloquy

I bet you'll never know

I did it all on a TV show

I bet you'll never know

I did it all on a TV show
