As life goes on we travel down a road
Be it one of loose stones or one of paved land
They're all the same
We get up in the mornings to do what we're told
And sleep at night when no more can be done
We all dream dreams of the life that we seek
But who really tries to strive for that life?
"It's too hard." "I could never do that."  is all we've learned to say
But no, if your heart's strong and your dreams true
Then yes, you can dream, and you will succeed.

We are one people, one being, living among each other
We all know happiness, pain, and sorrow
And we all know love.
That was our dream, love
And for a time we had it
But, as they say, nothing lasts forever
Just like our love
And just like our life.

Our world is like alchemy
With life as our mortar and love as our pestle
You can bring your precious things together in life
But, all the same, when love is brought in
Everything in life will be broken apart.

You see these roads that we ride
Take the same path
We go
We live
We love
Then we lose
But no matter how ludicrous your dream may be
We always keep on keeping on
Because, when life gives you lemons
Don't pucker and curse.
Say "thanks for the chance, I'll use this one well"
Because I know **** well that I want my dream
But are you positive that you feel the same?
