I don't know? I know.
Sometimes the world sets me apart.
I don't know what to do.
Should I follow my dreams?
Should I work for them?
Should I do as they say?
Should I just stop?
Can't I do what I want?
Can't I do what I can?
Can't I do something childish?
Can't I just be happy with myself?
The world just keeps spining and I stay off balance.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Should I follow my dreams?
Can't I do what I want?
Should I work for them?
Can't I do what I can?
Should I do as they say?
Can't I do something childish?
Should I just stop?
Can't I just be happy?
Why don't I orbit and let the world go bye?
Why don't I just become my own star?
I'll reach for my dreams,
Because it is what I want.
I'll work for them,
As long as it is something I can do.
I'll do what they say,
As long as I get to be childish.
I will not stop,
Because happiness is within my grasp.
It's what I know I want to do.
