I used to imagine
I could run with all the pros
Ball like LeBron
Bend like Beckham
Hit like Ruth
But as I got older
I began to think again
Oh, I didn't have
That special sauce
It takes to win
Well, I wasn't an all-star
But I kept on dreamin dreams
Climb in Nepal
Run in Boston
Tour in France
But the years flew by me
And I've still got nothin to show
Where's my rockin bod
Where's my six-pack
Where's my Olympic gold
Maybe they're
Gone, gone, gone away
And maybe that's
Fine, fine, I'll be okay
Maybe it's
Wrong, wrong to feel I've failed
If a few of the dreams I used to ride
Fly off the rails
Grew up believin
I could live the American dream
Fight like the King
Lead like Lincoln
Spend like Gates
But they're one in a million
And I'm a pretty normal kid
I didn't have the grit
To change the world
The way they did
Comin out of high school
I had a plan to get ahead
Study at Yale
Work on Wall Street
Speak at TED
But life sent me flyin
To the middle of the middle class
Where's my private jet
Where's my headline
Where's my Nobel Prize
Maybe they're
Gone, gone, gone away
And maybe that's
Fine, fine, I'll be okay
Maybe it's
Wrong, wrong to feel I've failed
If a few of the dreams I used to ride
Fly off the rails
Well, it seems to me my fantasy
Is sculpted day to day
I'm always reimagining
That Leonardo me
And though my goals keep changin
There's one thing that I've found
The dreams that really matter
Are the ones
That stick around
Some of them
Gone, gone, gone away
Some of them
Here, here, they're here to stay
Maybe it's
Wrong, wrong to feel I've failed
If the dreams that really matter
Are filling my sails
I said the dreams that really matter
Are filling my sails
