Boy you could be so much
You could be so much more
Just open up that door
Seize opportunity
As if I couldn't see
As if I didn't know what I could be
They swear I'll never fall
I'll rise above it all
The world can't hold me down
I'll turn it all around
They see no strings on me
As if I couldn't see
As if I didn't know that I was free
They say I should go far
They know that I'm a star
They say we hope that you
Do what you want to do
They say it is their plea
As if I couldn't see
As if I didn't know their hopes for me
They tell me I've got skill
And say I just need will
And if I do not strive
To keep my art alive
They fear obscurity
As if I couldn't see
As if I didn't share that same worry
They point her out and say
That girl will have her day
She's got it all worked out
She knows what it's about
And what she wants to be
As if I couldn't see
As if she wasn't everything to me
They tell me stay in touch Boy you could be so much You could be so much more Just open up that door Seize opportunity As if I couldn't see As if I didn't know what I could be They swear I'll never fall I'll rise above it all The world can't hold me down I'll turn it all around They see no strings on me As if I couldn't see As if I didn't know that I was free They say I should go far They know that I'm a star They say we hope that you Do what you want to do They say it is their plea As if I couldn't see As if I didn't know their hopes for me They tell me I've got skill And say I just need will And if I do not strive To keep my art alive They fear obscurity As if I couldn't see As if I didn't share that same worry They point her out and say That girl will have her day She's got it all worked out She knows what it's about And what she wants to be As if I couldn't see As if she wasn't everything to me Explain Request ×
