Never gonna tell you what to do
Take the best of you
Tell you what to say
Try and show the way
You've got to make it yours today
If it gets you on your way
See it don't matter
I'll find my own way home
You better do what you can
You're trying - but what can a poor boy do
We're hoping, the best that you can
We're wishing, hopin' and a prayin' now that
You've landed back on your feet
You're gonna rise from the ashes boy
You're gonna rise from the streets
Never gonna tell you what to do
Take the best of you
Tell you what to say
Try and show the way
You've got to make it yours today
If it gets you on your way
When you get the chance
Take it with both hands
Make it yours today
It might pass away
Dream yourself a dream
Show me what you've seen
Take me where you've been
Life, I need a dream
Never gonna tell you what to do
Take the best of you
Tell you what to say
Try and show the way
You've got to make it yours today
If it gets you on your way
See it don't matter
And I'll find my own way home
You better do what you can
You're trying but what can a poor boy do
We're hoping
The best that you can
We're wishing, hopin' and a prayin' now that
You've landed back on your feet
You're gonna rise from the ashes boy
You're gonna rise from the streets
Never gonna tell you what to do
Take the best of you
Tell you what to say
Try and show the way
You've got to make it yours today
If it gets you on your way
When you get the chance
Take it with both hands
Make it yours today
It might pass away
Dream yourself a dream
Show me what you've seen
Take me where you've been
Life, I need a dream
Tell me what to do, tell me what to say
What to do, what to say
What to do, tell me what to say
