I. Someone Like Him (0:00-8.44) Lyrics by John Petrucci
I never wanted to become Someone like him So secure Content to live each day Just like the last I was sure I knew that This was not for me And I wanted so much more Far beyond what I could see So I swore that I'd Never be someone like him
So many years have passed Since I proclaimed My independance My mission My aim And my vision So secure Content to live each day Like it's my last It's wonderful to know That I could be Something more than what I dreamed Far beyond what I could see Still I swear that I'm Missing out this time
As far as I could tell Theres nothing more I need But still I ask myself Could this be everything Then all I swore That I would never be was now So suddenly The only thing I wanted To become To be someone just like him
