Lyrics

Doctor actor lawyer or a singer

Why not president be a dreamer

You can be just the one you wanna be

Police man fire fighter or a post man

Why not something like your old man

I know that we all got one thing

That we all share together

We got that one nice dream we live for

You never know what life could bring

‘Cause nothing last forever

Just hold on to the team you play for

I know you could reach the top

Make sure that you won’t stop

Be the one that you wanna be

Now sing this with me

We may have different ways to think

But it doesn’t really matter

We all caught up in the steam of this life

Focus on every little thing

That’s what does really matter

Luxury cars and bling that’s not real life

Last year I used to dream about this day

Now I’m here I’m singing for you

I hope I could inspire you

‘Cause I’ve got all the love

‘Cause I’ve got all love for you

The narrator keeps returning to the same images — “Be the one that you wanna be” — until the final line “‘Cause I’ve got all love for you” brings it home. It is honest without being heavy, and the repetition makes the meaning easy to follow even on the first listen.
