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
You can be just the one you wanna be
Doctor actor lawyer or a singer
You can be just the one you wanna be
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 lasts 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
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
You can be just the one you wanna be
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
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
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
You can be just the one you wanna be
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
Doctor actor lawyer or a singer
Why not president be a dreamer
