[Verse 1]
Come on, can't I dream for one day
There's nothing that can't be done?
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone?
[Chorus]
Because I know there's got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I'm feeling like it's now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical?
[Verse 2]
I've lived through my share of misfortune
And I've worked in the blazing sun
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Because it's dragging me down
I'd like to know about when
When does it all turn around?
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Of the typical[repeat until fade]
