I had a place to live in
I had a job worth quitting
I had some things I had to chase
Mistakes, but we all make them as we celebrate being young
I had the chance to run away
And I wish upon a satellite that wrong can turn to right
Believe me
That we are (we are) our only chance in the world
If fate should fail us then hope will see us through
And we are (we are) the only chance in the world
So stand for something, cause something's overdue
And I don't ask for much, But this could define a lifetime
A dead man's hand, we are the only friends we ever had
They called it education
I saw a means to an end
I saw my life another way
"To live and die a king" I thought "There could be worse fates to land upon"
And I could go back home when it all blew up in my face
And I wish upon a satellite that wrong can turn to right
Believe me
That we are (we are) our only chance in the world
If fate should fail us then hope will see us through
And we are (we are) the only chance in the world
So stand for something, cause something's overdue
And I don't ask for much, But this could define a lifetime
A dead man's hand, we are the only friends we ever had
You'd need a map to see how far I was sticking out my neck
We all have things that we all second guess
And fears of being ordinary
And I wish upon a satellite that wrong can turn to right
Believe me
That we are (we are) our only chance in the world
If fate should fail us then hope will see us through
And we are (we are) the only chance in the world
So stand for something, cause something's overdue
