Lyrics
Standing there
Young and so prepared
Yet some of them become
The old ones sitting there
Staring from their chairs
With eyes full of dreams
That they left behind
(chorus)
So once in awhile
Once in awhile
See what they see
And learn through their eyes
To never deny the one you can be
We are born dealing with a world
Where pressure to perform
Seems to leave some in a place
Where years have come and gone
Where shadows linger on
From a day gone by
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
You don?t want to scream because you lost your nerve
You don?t want your dreams to disappear
Only you will feel the consequences here
So once in awhile
Once in awhile gather the nerve
To fight ?til the end
For the dream you can win
And the life you deserve
