This is the beginning – of a new lease on life
This freedom, - this passion is how we survive
Only got one life – one chance
To show what I got – and nothing will ever
Take this from me
You can never take this from me

Whatever happened to just – wanting to live your dream, 
When no one cared about – the cover of a magazine
This is the price I pay – for the life I’ve made, 
But I’m always finding a way to – Stand up, 
Can’t you hear the – sound of – a thousand screaming voices, 
Eager to watch you succeed – Give them something real to believe

You’ll try everything – to sell your soul for a quick buck, 
So look at it this way
Tried to control my life – but I’ve got something to say
Your words, they make me sick, 
Mind-blown by all the constant bullshit
Go back to your pathetic life – and let me be

Whatever happened to – just wanting to live your dream, 
When no one cared about – the cover of a magazine
This is the price I pay – for the life I’ve made, 
But I’m always finding a way to – Stand up, 
Can’t you hear the – sound of – a thousand screaming voices, 
Eager to watch you succeed
Give them something – real to believe

This is a song for the times I’ve failed
This is a song for the times I got it right
Maybe I’m just a boy – with a dream, 
But my dreams are becoming a reality
This is a song for the times you’ve failed
This is a song for the times you got it right
Maybe you’re just someone with a dream, 
But your dreams are so close you just have to believe it

Stand up, can’t you hear the sound, – of a thousand screaming voices

Whatever happened to – just wanting to live your dream, 
When no one cared about – the cover of a magazine
This is the price I pay – for the life I’ve made, 
But I’m always finding a way to – Stand up, 
Can’t you hear the – sound of – a thousand screaming voices, 
Eager to watch you succeed
Give them something – real to believe
