Never gonna tell you what to do Take the best of you Tell you what to say Try and show the way You gotta make it yours today If it gets you on your way See it don't matter I'll find my own way home You better do what you can You're trying But what can a poor boy do? We're hoping the best that you can We're wishing, hoping and a praying Now you've landed back on you're feet You're gonna rise from the ashes boy You're gonna rise from the street Never gonna tell you what to do Take the best of you Tell you what to say Try and show the way You gotta make it yours today If it gets you on your way When you get the chance Take it with both hands Make it yours today It might pass away Dream yourself a dream Show me what you've seen Take me where you've been Life I need a dream Tell me what to do Tell me what to say
