Had a place to live in
I had a job worth quitting
I had some things I had to change
Mistakes, but we all make them
We celebrate being young
I had the chance to run away
And I wish upon a satellite that wrong can't turn to right
Believe me
Then we are (then we are) our only chance in the world
Face your failures, hope they'll see us through
We are (we are) the only chance in the world
So stand for something, cause somethings over due
And I don't ask for much
But this could define a lifetime
A dead man's hands, we are the only friends we ever had
They called it education
I saw a means to an end
I saw my life another way
To live and die a king I thought
There could be worse fates to land upon
And I'd go back home when it all blew up in my face
And I wish upon a satellite that wrong can't turn to right
Believe me
Then we are (then we are) our only chance in the world
Face your failures, hope we'll see us through
We are (we are) our only chance in the world
So stand for something, cause somethings overdue
And I don't ask for much
But this could define a lifetime
A dead man's hands, we are the only friends we ever had
You need a map to see how far
I was sticking out my neck
We all have things that we all second guess
And fears of being ordinary
And I'll wish upon a satellite that wrong can't turn to right
Believe me
That we are (we are) our only chance in the world
Face your failures, hope we'll see us through
We are (we are) our only chance in the world
So stand for something, cause somethings overdue
And I don't ask for much
But this could define a lifetime
A dead man's hands, we are the only friends we ever had
A dead man's hands, we are the only friends we ever had
