Everything I Want to Be

I find myself
 i'm just awastin' 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
 well, 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
 what you tryin' 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
 cuz in the end it's going to be mine
 there's no need for me to stay
 cuz everything is gonna go
 my way
 my way, my way
 my way
 my way, my way, my way
