Jake Scott - The Man I Want To Be Lyrics

Jake Scott Lyrics

"The Man I Want To Be"

If I become the choices that I make
Am I on the road that I should take?
'Cause I've got all of these ambitions, but I'm afraid they take me down
But I don't want to end up wishing for the life I could have found

If these dreams get so bright that they're blinding
Will I still know how to see?
When I write the last words of this story
Will I be the man I want to be?
Oh, will I be the man I want to be?

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Many men have tried and lost their way
Sold their souls for fortunes made of flames
And I don't want to follow footsteps of tragedies and chasing fame
But I don't want to miss the first step and never live 'cause I was too afraid

If these dreams get so bright that they're blinding
Will I still know how to see?
When I write the last words of this story
Will I be the man I want to be?
Oh, will I be the man I want to be?

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

If I got everything I've wanted
And stood beneath the lights on the stage
Would the boy when I was young love the man that I've become
Or would he even recognize my face?

And If these dreams get so bright that they're blinding
Will I still know how to see?
When I write the last words of this story
Will I be the man I want to be?
Oh, will I be the man I want to be?
Oh, will I be the man I want to be?
