Sometimes you get it right away Sometimes you have to fight for it Sometimes you get it all right but then sometimes you don't

A boy with a dream and a man with a song Man says to boy, "You'd better push it along." And the boy replies, "Don't tell me what to do, this is my dream that's the size of your shoe." Boy talks back, but he wants to be a man Boy's just scared cause he doesn't have a plan Man tells boy one piece of advice, "If you want the whole pie first have one slice."
