1. Oooh, ooh oh-oh-oh
2. Yeah, yeah!
1. When I was a young boy, I had visions of fame
3. They were wild, and they were free; and they were blessed with my name
2. And then I grew older, and I saw what's to see
That the world is full of pain, and my dreams, they left me
4. And then I got stronger, and so tired of the pain
5. That's when I picked up the pieces, and I regained my name
1. And I fought hard, y'all, to carve out my place
6. And right now, you look at me, and it all seems in vain

1. Now I know you're crying, for it's all in his fate
2. And the things you want, you can't have, it just all went away

4. Just grab the wind, and make amends; and the flight'll take you far
