I was asked today what I wanted to be when I grew up
I gave the standard answer
I go to school and I work out
I play the game, oh I have it figured out
Yeah I do
Don't ask me questions I don't have the answer to
Someday is not today, this life is not half way through
I'm just a kid trying to figure it out
No it's not easy, and you should know
You are just like me, but you pretend not to be
But I am not hiding, at least I am not hiding
From who I wanna be
Everyday I ask myself am I doing ok, am I givin' it up
There's no standard answer
Keep it all together now don't forget the dream
It's almost in my reach, my reach
With every step, every moment I wanna make it mine
But sometimes it feels like I'm running out of time
But I'm just a kid trying to figure it out
No it's not easy, you should know
You are just like me, but you pretend not to be
But I am not hiding, at least I'm not hiding
From who I wanna be
I'm shutting it out, the little voice that says I can't
'Cause I can, I can, I can
Gotta believe that I can
I'm just a kid, trying to figure this out
And it's not easy, oh I know
But you are just like me, be what you wanna be
Don't ever hide it, don't ever hide it
I'm just a kid, trying to figure this out
And it's not easy, oh I know
But you are just like me, be what you wanna be
Don't ever hide it, don't ever hide it
