Lyrics
Daydreams and all the things that
Made me smile when I was
Coming home from school alone
Just to pass the time I?d think of
Jumping on that building there and
Clinging to the wall
Just like Spider-man,
And then I?d fly away from it all
Just like Superman, and then I?d dream I
Played the guitar, just like John Lennon,
And I?d write my songs and sing them for you...
And everything I knew that never helped me
And everyone that helped me and never knew?
Lost and free, and floating on a sea of
Doubt and
Fear of moving forward and of falling behind,
And fear of losing years
To not even trying?
I?m moving away now
Because I finally realized,
There ain?t no way around it:
Be who you are
Don?t ever let anyone
Tell you left or right when you know
Straight?s the only way to go
Don?t let your dreaming turn to history
When you know it?s the only way
The only way?
And I
Would never let you go so far as to say
That you?re not part of all my dreams,
When you?re my everything.
You?re my destination.
And now I?ve started thinking that
Maybe it?s the time to find the
Strength inside myself to chase the
Dream that I?ve identified.
And everything I knew...
