Everything I Want To Be

I find myself, I'm just a-wasting my time away
No matter what I do it always ends up the same
One minute moves into the next
My life was simple but now it's complex
And it doesn't seem to mean anything at all

And everything I want to be
Is just another silly dream, you see
But I'll keep dreaming just the same

Sometimes it's hard to be me when people stand in my way
I get so easily discouraged what can I say
They try to mess you up, they try to push you around
They'll do anything to bring you down

I'm not gonna be stuck in mediocrity
When everybody's trying to bring me back down to reality
Oh, why can't they see just how much this means to me
Maybe one day I'll be special

Your dreams are special to you but maybe others don't care
It brings you down when you find them disregarded
And when you're out on your own it's hard to make yourself stay
And finish up what it was that you once started

I'm not gonna be taken down that easily
When everybody's trying to tell me what I'm gonna have to be
Oh, why can't they see just how much this means to me
Maybe one day I'll be special, I'll be special

It means nothing, it means everything
It means something to me, yeah
What you trying to say I'm not gonna play
In this little game that you have created for me
You had your chance to do what you needed to
And not it's time for me to step right up and
Spin that wheel this time's for real

It's not gonna work this time
'Cause in the end it's going to be mine
There's no need for me to stay
'Cause everything is gonna go, my way
My way, my way, my way, my way, my way, my way
