Never gonna tell you what to do
Take the best of you
Tell you what to say
Try and show the way
You gotta make it yours today
If it gets you on your way

See it don't matter
I'll find my own way home
You better do what you can
You're trying

But what can a poor boy do?
We're hoping the best that you can
We're wishing hoping and a praying
Now you've landed back on your feet
You're gonna rise from the ashes, boy
You're gonna rise from the street

Never gonna tell you what to do
Take the best of you
Tell you what to say
Try and show the way
You gotta make it yours today
If it gets you on your way

When you get the chance
Take it with both hands
Make it yours today
It might pass away

Dream yourself a dream
Show me what you've seen
Take me where you've been
Life, I need a dream

Tell me what to do
Tell me what to say
