you feel their eyes upon you

you hear their words behind you

what do they know about you?

they'll tell you who you should be

tell you what you should do

they'll never believe in you



somebody should have told you

it never comes easy

somebody should have told you that

there's no guarantees

that you lose it all

when you stop dreaming

there's no way to know

if you run away

there's no looking back



this is your time to stand up

this is the time to fight for

all that you know and you believe

you owe it to yourself to 

find out what you're meant for 

there's no way to know if you run



somebody should have told you

it never comes easy

somebody should have told you that

there's no guarantees

that you lose it all

when you stop dreaming

there's no way to know

if you run away

there's no looking back



they tell us who to be while ignoring all our dreams

so we'll throw it away

why is it they can't see we're who we want to be

we'll throw it away



why can't they see 

that we'll never be who they want us to be

we'll never be

we have too many dreams 

too many dreams to just throw them away
