[Verse 1] Come on, can't I dream for one day There's nothing that can't be done? But how long should it take somebody Before they can be someone?
[Chorus] Because I know there's got to be another level Somewhere closer to the other side And I'm feeling like it's now or never Can I break the spell of the typical?
[Verse 2] I've lived through my share of misfortune And I've worked in the blazing sun But how long should it take somebody Before they can be someone?
[Chorus]
[Bridge] Because it's dragging me down I'd like to know about when When does it all turn around?
