Lyrics to Who I Hope to Be

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 it was 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.
