the dirt and the dust

ClutchTheDawn

a young boy abandoned
he's got no family tree
and the one who'd raise him
she'd die before his teens, so
he grew up half empty
wanting love to fill him up, but
when everyone's kicking
they soon knock over the cup

and I've got to get passed the dirt and the dust
I am at odds with the history I trust
I've got to get passed the dirt and the dust
where is the crime in loving this much?

love sprang eternal
falls in on its own weight
he did the best he could
within the past he faced
sometimes the hardest thing
is changing memories made
when every effort fails you
the good intentions fade

and I've got to get passed the dirt and the dust
I am at odds with the history I trust
I've got to get passed the dirt and the dust
where is the crime in loving this much?

young girl don't question
she fill back up his cup
a heart so pure and true
gives reason to look up

and I've got to get passed the dirt and the dust
I am at odds with the history I trust
I've got to get passed the dirt and the dust
where is the crime in loving this much?
