Lyrics

I want to be like you mother
stronger than life itself
I want to be like you father
up on the stage
you taught me right
I want to be like a star shining so bright
I want to be like somebody who won't have to lie
telling it so right...

For once in a lifetime
it wouldn't be the last time no
it wouldn't be the first day
It wouldn't be the only way
and I ain't waiting for my time to come

I started out too fast then I fell behind
everything I knew would just get lost inside
I tried to fall asleep but I couldn't close my eyes
so many things to do so precious little time

there has to be some way to put my fear aside
to let it all hang out and just enjoy the ride
live while I'm here stop staring at the sky
pull my bitter roots out and teach me how to fly

Once in a lifetime
it wouldn't be the last time no
it wouldn't be the first day
It wouldn't be the only way
and I ain't waiting for my time to come
