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
