I had a place to live in I had a job worth quitting I had some things I had to chase Mistakes but we all make them We celebrate being young I had the chance to runaway And I wish upon a satelite That a wrong can't turn a right Believe me, that we are Our only chance in the world If fate should fail us Then hope will see us through And we are, our only chance in the world So stand for something Cos somethings overdue And I don't ask for much But this could define a lifetime A dead mans hands We are the only friends we ever had They called it education I saw a means to an end I saw my life in other ways To live and die a king I thought there could be worst fates To land upon and I could go back home When it all blew up in my face And I wish upon a satelite That wrong can't turn a right Believe me, that we are Our only chance in the world If fate should fail us Then hope will see us through And we are, our only chance in the world So stand for something Cos somethings overdue And I don't ask for much But this could define a lifetime A dead mans hands We are the only friends we ever had You'd need a map to see how far I was sticking out my neck We all have things that we all second guess And fears of being ordinary And I wish upon a satelite That a wrong can't turn a right Believe me, that we are Our only chance in the world If fate should fail us Then hope will see us through And we are, our only chance in the world So stand for something Cos somethings overdue And I don't ask for much But this could define a lifetime At a dead mans hands We are the only friends we ever had At a dead mans hands We are the only friends we ever had
