If I become the choices that I make Am I on the road that I should take? 'Cause I've got all of these ambitions, but I'm afraid they take me down But I don't want to end up wishing for the life I could have found [Chorus] If these dreams get so bright that they're blinding Will I still know how to see? When I write the last words of this story Will I be the man I want to be? Oh, will I be the man I want to be? [Bridge] Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Many men have tried and lost their way Sold their souls for fortunes made of flames And I don't want to follow footsteps of tragedies and chasing fame But I don't want to miss the first step and never live 'cause I was too afraid
[Chorus] If these dreams get so bright that they're blinding Will I still know how to see? When I write the last words of this story Will I be the man I want to be? Oh, will I be the man I want to be? [Bridge] If I got everything I've wanted And stood beneath the lights on the stage Would the boy when I was young love the man that I've become Or would he even recognize my face? [Chorus] And If these dreams get so bright that they're blinding Will I still know how to see? When I write the last words of this story Will I be the man I want to be? Oh, will I be the man I want to be? Oh, will I be the man I want to be?
