Well, I know that everybody's got a reason
A good excuse to always play it safe
And I'm not one to judge I am no better
But at some point I just got tired of playing the game
Knew there was so much out there to see
Had to go find what mattered to me
That's why I chose to dream and left the rules behind
Now I always make the most out of my time
Now I have done so many things
That once were nothing more than dreams
And if I die tomorrow that's alright
'Cause I can truly say I've lived my life
Oh, now I understand the reasons for your worries
I used to have those feelings haunting me
But all I ask is won't you just consider
What you'll think about this when you're eighty-three
We've still got so much dreaming to do
So here's a chance to make life new
That's why I chose to dream and left the rules behind
Now I always make the most out of my time
Now I have done so many things
That once were nothing more than dreams
And if I die tomorrow that's alright
'Cause I can truly say I've lived my life
No more longing for yesterday
No more wishing and thinking that something has got to change
No more worrying or holding on
To all those superficial things that I can't even live on
That's why I chose to dream and left the rules behind
Now I always make the most out of my time
Now I have done so many things
That once were nothing more than dreams
And if I die tomorrow that's alright
'Cause I can truly say
That I chose to dream and left the rules behind
Now I always make the most out of my time
Now I have done so many things
That once were nothing more than dreams
And if I die tomorrow that's alright
'Cause I can truly say I've lived
I can truly say I've lived
I can truly say I've lived my life
