[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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?

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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?
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 3]
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?

[Chorus]
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?
