The Man I Want to Be

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If I become the choices that I make Am I on the road that I should take? 'Cause I've got all of these ambitions But I'm afraid they'll take me down But I don't want to end up wishin' For the life I could have found [Chorus] And if these dreams get so bright that they're blinding Well, I still know how to see When I write the last words of this story Will I be the man I wanna be? Oh, will I be the man I wanna be? Woah oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh [Verse 2] Many men have tried and lost their way Sold their souls for fortunes made of flames And I don't want to follow footsteps Of tragedies and chasin' fame But I don't wanna miss the first step And never live 'cause I was too afraid [Chorus] If these dreams get so bright that they're blinding Well, I still know how to see When I write the last words of this story Will I be the man I wanna be? Oh, will I be the man I wanna be? Woah oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh [Verse 3] If I got everything I wanted And stood beneath the lights on the stage Would the boy when I was young Love the man that I've become Or would he even recognize my face? [Chorus] And if these dreams get so bright that they're blinding (Woah oh oh oh) Well, I still know how to see, oh (Woah oh oh oh) When I write the last words of this story (Woah oh oh oh) Will I be the man I wanna be? (Woah oh oh oh) Oh, will I be the man I wanna be? (Woah oh oh oh) Oh, will I be the man I wanna be?
