Story Behind The Song
The song is about growing up and not knowing where you're going in life, while all the time you keep asking yourself "Who you want to be? What you think you'll see?". It's a positive song about something that most young people go through in their lives, coming out of school and not knowing where they are going. The title, however, has nothing to do with the song itself.

Lyrics
Live long and prosper, cause it's getting harder, so much harder than it seems
Is this the last time in your lifetime that you'll get a chance like this?
Cause when it's over and growing older you'll be kicking yourself
Don't let this be your last time, seize this chance cause it won't come round again
And when this pressure clouds your mind
Don't let it make your move
Tell me who you want to be
Tell me what you think you'll see
Tell me, c'mon tell me
Tell me who you want to be
Tell me what you think you'll see
Tell me, c'mon tell me
So don't just sit there and act like you care just get off your sorry ass
Are you ok? You think you're ok? Cause you don't look it to me
So come on down, come on over and we'll show you just what we are good at blowing minds and turning heads
Tell me who you want to be
Tell me what you think you'll see
Tell me, c'mon tell me
Tell me who you want to be
Tell me what you think you'll see
Tell me, c'mon tell me
