Hey dad, I remember what you said to me
You said this world don't owe you a damn thing
It's up to you to forge your destiny
It's up to you to open your eyes to see
All and everything that you can be
And don't be an ignorant man like me
To think that love and happiness are free
We all pay a price to be complete
Hey mom, I remember what you said to do
You said to always be true to you
Because there is nothing that you can't do
And to believe even though the odds are few
Not everyone is going to love you
Some will want to see you torn in two
And yeah, I may want to see you hurt too
But believe that the love for your dreams are true
So spread your wings young one
We want to see you fly
And though you might not touch the sun
At least you can try
