there was a boy who knew he could be anything that he wanted to everybody told him he had a singular destiny everybody said he d go far everybody said he d be a star they said he could be anything he wanted to be then he turned into me now it seems increasingly unlikely that i m gonna grow up to be luke skywalker not gonna be indiana jones and after all this time it s probably not gonna turn out that i m the super powered heir to a world that isn t there anymore but somebody told me i was special somebody told me that i could be anything i wanted to be how could they have known the dreams i had were not the dreams they had for me they said i could be what i wanted they had no idea what i wanted and i don t mean to seem ungrateful for all their encouragement and praise i just meant to say that i don t intend to stay and spend another wasted year cause at the end i bet i d still be sitting here wasting time and waiting i m waiting for my lady of the lake to come and crown me king i m waiting for my rocket to land so i can get my power ring i m waiting for my radioactive meteorite to fall i m waiting but i ain t got no meteorite at all i m waiting for my story to begin i m waiting for my i m not done don t count me out of it my story isn t over yet i m not the son of some roman god but anyway i think i m gonna be okay and looking back i find it seems i ve always had unlikely dreams but i can t let that stop me now it s time to grow up anyhow and i may not be hercules but here s my new philosophy
