[Live Guitar Intro] [Live Audience Screaming] [Verse 1] I grew up in a world where the lessons were mine, No map, no guide, just following time. Math and words, yeah, I had the spark, But I let ‘em fade, never lit the dark. [Guitar Hits] [Verse 2] They talked about things I didn’t understand, Too proud to ask, too scared to raise my hand. Late bloomer walkin’ through a world so fast, By the time I caught up, I was stuck in the past. [Pre Chorus] Oh, my sister said, "Boy, you had the mind," But the years rolled on, left me behind. [Chorus] What I could have been, what I could have seen, If I had chased the fire, if I had dared to dream. Would I stand taller, would I shine bright? Or would I be the same man I am tonight? [Guitar Hit [Verse 3] I watched the world spin, felt the years go by, Saw my reflection and asked myself why. Could’ve reached higher, could’ve soared far, But I buried my light, wished on the wrong star. [Verse 4] My daddy fought wars, he made his stand Came back home with work warn hands Never said much, never showed the way Just let life teach me the hard knock way [ [Bridge] But I ain't blind, I see it now, Can’t change the past, but I still know how. Ain’t too late to rise, ain’t too late to fight, Ain’t too late to make these wrongs feel right. [Chorus] What I could have been, what I could have seen, If I had chased the fire, if I had dared to dream. Would I stand taller, would I shine bright? Or would I be the same man I am tonight? [Guitar Solo] [ [Outro] The road behind is written in stone, But the road ahead is mine alone. What I could have been, don’t matter now, ‘Cause I’m still standin’—I’ll make it count somehow. [Guitar Hit] [Outro] The road behind is written in stone, But the road ahead is mine alone. What I could have been, don’t matter now, ‘Cause I’m still standin’—I’ll make it count somehow. Cause I'm still standing .......after allllllll
