Welcome to the show The curtain opens slow Take your seats, I'll set the scene A weary boy, a weary dream Join this symphony with me 1000 Miles he left from home To play the parts from scripts he'd wrote The stage is set and world sing with him The world will sing with him Here's to the dream Now Stand and sing Where you wanna be I can't And where you'd wanna go I'd never As I chase the american dream Hear it in the way I scream Don't try to save me cause you'll never Take your aim You'll remember our names Where you wanna be I can't And where you'd wanna go I'd never As I chase the american dream See it in the way I bleed Don't try to save me cause you'll never Understand this is more than a dream Ready or not Hold applause, the actors shy Behind the stage where he weeps and cries Behind the strings hear the ballad sing with him The world will sing with him Here's to the dream Now stand and sing Where you wanna be I can't And where you'd wanna go I'd never As I chase the american dream Hear it in the way I scream Don't try to save me cause you'll never Take your aim You'll remember our names Where you wanna be I can't And where you'd wanna go I'd never As I chase the american dream See it in the way I bleed Don't try to save me cause you'll never Understand this is more than a dream Septic in the way you think You try to change me but you'll never As you bite off the hand that will feed They say that we're useless They pray that we'll fall As I kick and scream Are they proud of me Proud of me now? Join this symphony with me Ready or not They'll try to kick you while you're down Face first you'll plummet through the sounds "Give up and never chase your dreams" "Grow up" is what they said to me I trade my comfort for a dream Back home they'll sing this song with me Don't you know that Where you wanna be I can't And where you'd wanna go I'd never As I chase the american dream See it in the way I bleed Don't try to save me cause you'll never Understand this is more than a dream Septic in the way you think You try to change me but you'll never As you bite off the hand that will feed They say that we're useless They pray that we'll fall As I kick and scream Are they proud of me Proud of me now? He'll entertain He'll change his face He'll change his life He'll lead the way The curtains closed but fear him in his wake He light a fire that's hear to stay Are they proud of me now?
