You're bursting with untapped potential
If only the world could see
This light that courses inside you
Can shine brighter than the sun
You want to be something to someone
Truth is,
You'll never be anything to anyone
Someone once told you
Wealth and beauty they fade
The people who love you
Are all that matter in the long run
So, you want to be something to someone
Truth is,
You'll never be anything to anyone
You've tried many different paths
Failure has followed through each
But this is not the end of the road
No, your story has just begun
You want to be something to someone
Truth is,
You'll never be anything to anyone
Perseverance is half the battle
And giving up is the only true defeat
If you are still willing to fight
Well then you've already won
You want to be something to someone
Truth is,
You'll never be anything to anyone
So what if life uptil now
Has amounted to nothing
Go on and befriend patience
One day your time will come
You're only thirteen, just wait
You're only eighteen, wait some more
You're twenty six now, you can wait a little longer
You're still pretty young
You want to be something to someone
Truth is,
You'll never be anything to anyone
I know you've burnt every familial bridge
So what, start a family of your own
Give that love to your own daughter
Save that love for your own son
You want to be something to them
Truth is,
You'll never be anything to anyone
So stop this pointless dreaming
Don't cling so hard to hope
Just give up the gun
You're done
You're done
You're not worth much
You never were
You'll never be anything to anyone
