People Who Think They Can

People who think they can

I want to be just like those

Who think they can

I want to be not so far away

From where I'd planned to be by now

Time has a bad habit of flying

I was sleeping when it passed me by

I was dreaming of what

I would wear when I got there

It's not easy being green

In a world where you have to

Tread on other people

Just to find a place

To put your wares on

Show it's not required

That you sing, write or play

Just wear the tightest one

And smile in that certain way and

Think you can

I want to be not so far away

From where I planned to be

Good things come to those who wait

I'm going to lift my head

And keep my back up straight

And when it matters most

And I can't be found I'll just

Climb to the top

And you will find me

Hanging around with

People who think they can
