The shades gone up
Mothers staring down
She don't know where he's been
Or how long he's been out
She said 'Boy I'm tired of waiting up while your out with your friends'
He said 'Mom I'm trying and I'm living my life the best way that I can'
Cause I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I'm living
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
The day has come
The sun is moving on
She don't know where he'll go
Or when he's coming home
She said 'Son take care, don't let your dreams get too far out of sight'
He said 'I love you now, don't worry about me you know I'll be fine'
Cause I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I'm living
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
No
I'm not trying to be somebody else
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you
I wont ever let you
What they say
What they know
What they think wont ever bring me down
This life is mine and I am my own
I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I lead
Don't you know me?
I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I'm living
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
Yeahhh
I'm not trying to be somebody else
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
I wont be nobody else
This life is mine and I am my own

And nobody's gonna take it from me
I'm gonna show you something you got to see
Trust me people you'll remember this day
Cause its my time to shine
Cause I know what could be mine
Its all laying on the line,
So its my time, its my time to shine
I've dreamed about this moment day and night
This is the only thing that I've ever known
I believe I can and I think I'm right
I'm gonna take this back to where it belongs
Cause its my time to shine
Cause I know what could be mine
Its all laying on the line,
So its my time, its my time to shine
I'm gonna shine

There’s too much work and I’m spent
There’s too much pressure and I'm bent
I got no time to move ahead
Have you heard one thing that I’ve said
And all these little things in life they all create this haze
There’s too many things to get done, and I’m running out of days
And I can’t last here for so long
I feel this current it’s so strong
It gets me further down the line
It gets me closer to the light
And all these little things in life they all create this haze
There’s too many things to get done, and I’m running out of days
All these little things in life they all create this haze
There’s too many things to get done, and I’m running out of days
Will all these little things in life they all create this haze
And now I’m running out of time I can’t see through this haze
My friend tell me why it has to be this way
There’s too many things to get done, and I’m running out of days
There’s too much pressure and I'm bent
I got no time to move ahead
Have you heard one thing that I’ve said
And all these little things in life they all create this haze
There’s too many things to get done, and I’m running out of days
And I can’t last here for so long
I feel this current it’s so strong
It gets me further down the line
It gets me closer to the light
And all these little things in life they all create this haze
There’s too many things to get done, and I’m running out of days
All these little things in life they all create this haze
There’s too many things to get done, and I’m running out of days
Will all these little things in life they all create this haze
And now I’m running out of time I can’t see through this haze
My friend tell me why it has to be this way
There’s too many things to get done, and I’m running out of days
