how many times will I sit when I should stand how many times have my dreams been just beyond my hand how many times have I compromised how many times have I told myself these lies how many times will I walk the beaten path how many times will I end up dead last how many times will I watch it pass me by how many times will I bury what's inside well i know someday i will find the means and i will find the time and i will find a way to realize my dreams and leave it all behind
