They spend all of their spare time Rehearsing their songs all night (forty hours a week at work) But thy never have a penny left for rent They spend it all one thing Something they call everything They stay focused on their dreams Hoping it's worth the work and the money spent And the lights come on And the curtain opens And they see the fans One, two, ten Ten people in the audience screaming for them One for each week of practice they put in Wishing so bad that they could skip this step and just have it all But you can't survive the fight unless you learn how to take a fall Their friends all call them crazy Their family says they're just lazy (mocking what they say) But every word they said they meant While the years pa** by like nothing Their quote "friends" They leave like nothing They stay focused on their dreams Hoping it's worth the work and the money they spent And the lights come on And the curtain opens And they see the fans One, two, ten thousand Ten thousand people in the audience screaming for them One for each day of life they put in Now they're always telling everyone to enjoy the ride Because you can't learn lessons you need watching from the side Unwilling to settle We're better than ten Ten thousand people separate The boys from the men Unwilling to settle Unwilling to settle
