A now or a never

Toss that question to the masses

Like a feather with that carefree hand of yours

It falls on me like a ton of rocks and calls to me from those dark crevasses

 

Well son you better speak your mind now

Or pass the baton to the next below

Hear your heart thump with the thrill of it

Know no joy till you feel youve got this lit

 

You ask me what I wanna be

You call to me and say just one not three

You need me to draw a line in that changing sand

You want something real you can understand

You want me to guide you through my fate while I hold your hand

Well I won't be falling to your demands

 

I'll let you in on a will of mine

A wish I know befalls mankind

I wanna be that elusive bird

I wanna be someone someone else has heard

I can do it in one but it'll take all three

Because, you see

I wanna be someone everyone else wants to be
