There was a boy who knewhe could be anything that he wanted to.
Everybody told him he had a singular destiny.
Everybody said he'd go far--everybody said he'd be a star.
They said he could be anything he wanted to be--then he turned into me.
Now it seems increasingly unlikelythat I'm gonna grow up to be Luke Skywalker--not gonna be Indiana Jones.
And after all this time it's probably not gonna turn outthat I'm the super-powered heirto a world that isn't there anymore.
But somebody told me I was special.
Somebody told me that I could be anything I wanted to be.
How could they have known the dreams I hadwere not the dreams they had for me?
They said I could be what I wanted--they had no idea what I wanted.
And I don't mean to seem ungratefulfor all their encouragement and praise.I just meant to say that I don't intend to stay and spendanother wasted year, cause at the end
I bet I'd still be sitting here wasting time and waiting.I'm waiting for my Lady of the Lake to come and crown me king.I'm waiting for my rocket to land so I can get my power ring.I'm waiting for my radioactive meteorite to fall.I'm waiting but I ain't got no meteorite at all.I'm waiting for my story to begin.I'm waiting for my... I'm not done.
Don't count me out of it--my story isn't over yet.I'm not the son of some Roman god but anyway
I think I'm gonna be okay.
And looking back I find it seems
I've always had unlikely dreamsbut I can't let that stop me now,it's time to grow up anyhow.
And I may not be Herculesbut here's my new philosophy:
