Time and time again, I've wondered why
We were far too young to say goodbye
Try I try to be the man you were
But days like these remind me how it hurts

Take me one step closer
To being the one you always said I could be
Take me two steps further
Show me the way, could we be made for history

Day by day I fight to fill your shoes
But you don't know how I look up to you
Try I try to stand on my own two feet
And oh, I wish that you'd believe in me

I can't ignore it
I think I adore you
What if I told you
What if I did

I can't ignore it
I think I adore you
What if I showed you
I think I will

Take me one step closer
To being the one that you always said I could be
Take me two steps further
Show me the way, could we be made for history

Hand on my heart, ready to start
All that you are is who I hope to be
Who I hope to be
So fire the gun, bang on the drum
I will become who I hope to be
Who I hope to be

Once upon a time twas you and I
Trading smiles I know you saw me
You saw me
But then you went to school
Learned the rules ain't it cruel
You don't even know me, know me
Anymore

Take me one step closer
To being the one that you always said I could be
Take me two steps further
Show me the way could we be made for history

Take me one step closer
To being the one that you always said I could be
Take me two steps further
Show me the way could we be made for history

Hand on my heart, ready to start
All that you are
Is who I hope to be, who I hope to be
So fire the gun, bang on the drum
I will become
Who I hope to be, who I hope to be

Are we who we hope to be
Who we hope to be
