You know, wishing won't make it so |
|
Hoping won't do it, praying won't do it |
|
Religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it |
|
The supreme court won't do it, |
|
The president and the congress won't do it |
|
The un won't do it, the h-bomb won't do it, |
|
The sun and the moon won't do it |
|
And god won't do it, |
|
And i certainly won't do it |
|
That leaves you, you'll have to do it |
|
I know that you've been wondering |
|
If i'm the same man inside |
|
Never tried to fool you |
|
'cause i've got nothing to hide |
|
I gave you fair warning i could never be tied down |
|
'til i've seen paradise with my very own eyes |
|
Love owns us all, time owns us all, life owns us all |
|
But the world doesn't own me |
|
Dontcha follow me now |
|
I ain't afraid to say i may have been wrong |
|
I have to go now |
|
I'd rather live by a dream than live by a lie |
|
And that's why |
|
There ain't no cure for what i've got baby |
|
We just have to suffer |
|
I feel no pain, i can't complain, |
|
Things could always be rougher |
|
But i picked up this banner |
|
And i just can't put it down (no) |
|
I can't let the world die just 'cause no one would try |
|
Dontcha follow me now |
|
Everybody's got to find his own place in the sun, |
|
Everyone |
|
So shine on me now |
|
I'd rather live by a dream then live by a lie |
|
You can say what you will about me |
|
Talk is cheap and i don't mind |
|
When you lay your life down in them grooves |
|
You know you're bound to get scratched up sometime |
|
It's only just a song, pay me no mind |
|
I have to go now |
|
You've got to walk that road alone |
|
If you walk it at all |
|
Don't follow me now |
|
I gave you all fair warning |
|
Now it's goodbye |
|
And every once in a while why don't you think of me |
|
'cause it's a long, long time and a long way to go |
|
Can't you see the light shining in my eyes |
|
'cause it's just one victory |
|
'cause your dream goes on forever |
|
Don't you know that i've been trying |
|
To get my trip together |
|
Be a real man |
|
I got to be a real man |
|
1, 2, 3, do it one more time |
|
Be a real man |
|
Everybody be a real man |
|
Go then, don't believe, and i don't know |
|
'cause i got to be a real man |
|
You can be a man, a real man |
|
I'll swim that river, climb that mountain |
|
You and me, we all gotta be, real men |
