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 
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 [bad word] 
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 
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 [bad word] 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 
thousand screaming voices, 
Eager to watch you succeed 
Give them something real to believe
