(Joey Tempest)
|
I want to learn how to fly
|
I want to be respected
|
I want to get lucky
|
I want to get out of this dump
|
I just want to watch TV
|
I want to be loved
|
I want to be different
|
I want a brother and sister
|
I'd just rather be forgotten
|
I want to save the world
|
I want to be understood
|
I want to be rich
|
Man, I just want to be somebody
|
|
Julie's got the word today
|
She lost her job just one last pay
|
Life don't come easy anymore
|
Still strugglin'on by herself
|
Got a picture of Jimmy
|
There on the shelf
|
And she looks at him and says
|
Why did we let it go
|
|
I know that sometimes baby
|
We didn't see things eye-to-eye
|
But I got just one question
|
Did we have to say goodbye
|
|
Just like prisoners in paradise
|
Still far from heaven's door
|
We had it all but still we
|
Wanted more
|
Now I realize that I can't
|
Turn back the future's here
|
To stay but hey
|
We're just children of tomorrow
|
Hangin' on to yesterday
|
|
Jimmy still recalls the night
|
When he took his guitar
|
And headed on out
|
To find the big time
|
That was his dream
|
He gave up his past
|
And made it alright
|
But there's something missin'
|
In his heart tonight
|
Sometimes what you want
|
Ain't what you need
|
|
|
He misses drivin' down
|
To the lake at night
|
Holdin' his baby
|
In his arms so tight
|
Ain't it hard to find illusions
|
When you're livin' in a memory
|
|
Just like prisoners in paradise
|
So close but yet so far
|
There will come a time
|
No matter who you are
|
When you ask yourself
|
Was it right or wrong
|
For me to turn away but hey
|
We're just children of tomorrow
|
Hangin' on to yesterday
|
