[Verse 1]
(Growin' up) Almost famous
(Growin' up) On front pages
(Growin' up) Is contagious
Spolight's amazing
(You don't know) What it takes
(Till you know) How it breaks ya
(Getting hurt) Wasn't part of the plan

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I am a man
I am doing the best that I can
Here's my second chance
I'll be damned if I let it slip out of my grip

[Chorus]
The future is in my hands
Hands, in my hands, my hands
The future is in my hands
Hands, in my hands, my hands

[Verse 2]
(Growin' up) Ain't so easy
(Growin' up) On the TV
(Growin' up) Ain't ABC
When you're living naively
(You don't know) What is real, I
(Hope you don't) spin your wheels, I
(Gotta just) Trust my heart, go by feel
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I am a man
I am doing the best that I can
Here's my second chance
I'll be damned if I let it slip out of my grip

[Chorus]
The future is in my hands
Hands, in my hands, my hands
The future is in my hands
Hands, in my hands, my hands
The future is in my hands

[Bridge]
I was out of sync, never goin' back
Bye, bye, bye, no strings attached
My jagged edge on my [?]
Here we go again, turning boys to men
I was out of sync, never goin' back
Bye, bye, bye, no strings attached
My jagged edge on my [?]
Here we go again, turning boys to men

[Chorus]
The future is in my hands
Hands, in my hands, my hands
The future is in my hands
Hands, in my hands, my hands
The future is in my hands
