4 in the morning

And my roommate's still a-snoring

So I take a walk out on the Boulevard

The wind above me

Seems to push and pull and shove me

But it shows me all the places I could fly

I want to be something

Before I die

I feel it burning me inside

I want to be something

I don't know why

I want to know that at least I tried

I see so clearly

That the odds are stacked against me

And that nobody else believes in me at all

I'm all alone here

And I have to face my own fear

I have no choice but to keep on keeping on

I want to be something

Before I die

I feel it burning me inside, whoooooaaa-oh

I want to be something

I don't know why

I want to know that at least I tried

And if my dreams all come true someday, true someday

I won't forget how I feel today, I feel today

I'm blown away

I wanna be some'n'... x 7

Here I am, here I am

I want to be something

Before I die

I feel it burning me inside, whoooooaaa-oh

I want to be something

I want to feel something

I want to know that at least I tried
