If I become the choices that I make
Am I on the road that I should take?
'Cause I've got all of these ambitions
But I'm afraid they'll take me down
But I don't want to end up wishin'
For the life I could have found
And if these dreams get so bright that they're blinding
Well, I still know how to see
When I write the last words of this story
Will I be the man I wanna be?
Oh, will I be the man I wanna be?
Woooahhh
Woooahhh
Many men have tried and lost their way
Sold their souls for fortunes made of flames
And I don't want to follow footsteps
Of tragedies and chasin' fame
But I don't wanna miss the first step
And never live 'cause I was too afraid
If these dreams get so bright that they're blinding
Well, I still know how to see
When I write the last words of this story
Will I be the man I wanna be?
Oh, will I be the man I wanna be?
If I got everything I wanted
And stood beneath the lights on the stage
Would the boy when I was young
Love the man that I've become
Or would he even recognize my face?
And if these dreams get so bright that they're blinding
Well, I still know how to see
When I write the last words of this story
Will I be the man I wanna be?
Oh, will I be the man I wanna be?
Oh, will I be the man I wanna be?
