how many times will I sit when I should stand

how many times have my dreams been just beyond my hand

how many times have I compromised

how many times have I told myself these lies



how many times will I walk the beaten path

how many times will I end up dead last

how many times will I watch it pass me by

how many times will I bury what's inside



well i know someday

i will find the means

and i will find the time

and i will find a way

to realize my dreams and leave it all behind
