So you think you can dream big
Chasing that rainbow
Just searching for that pot of gold
Tell me all of your stories
Where has it led you?
Have you been searching high and low?

So when the world pins you down you
Feel like you're drowning
And you're at risk in your own soul
So you think you can do what you're told
It's all you can do to survive
Grab the wheel and let it take you
To where you feel alive

Whether you can or you can't
Or you will or you won't
That's where you find what you will be
Whether you win or you lose
Or you try or you fail
Just be the change you want to see

If you think you can or you can't
Or you will or you won't
That will decide what you will be
Whether you win or you lose
Or you try or you fail
Just be the change you want to see

I have no doubt you're changing
You're just rearranging
All of the things you held so long
Throw out all of the lies and
No compromising
Just know the place where you belong

So you say you can live it
But can you wear it?
It's a matter of right or wrong
So you think you can break it down
And try to analyze
All the pressure you put on yourself
To try to stay alive

Whether you can or you can't
Or you will or you won't
That's where you find what you will be
Whether you win or you lose
Or you try or you fail
Just be the change you want to see

So where does this leave me?
Oh, just keep believing
It's all I need to know
I'm never leaving
I'm never retreating, no
This is where I leave my heart and
Where I'm meant to go

Whether you can or you can't
Or you will or you won't
That's where you find what you will be
Whether you win or you lose
Or you try or you fail
Just be the change you want to see

Whether you will or you won't
Just be the change you want to see

Whether you will or whether you won't
It's gonna be plain to see
Whether you think you can or can't
This is where you will be
Whether you will or whether you won't
It's gonna be plain to see
Whether you think you can or can't
This is what you will be
