Mainstreet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, the world is mine

De dagen gaan zo snel
Er gaat zoveel, aan mij voorbij, oooh
Maar één ding weet ik wel
Ik kan niet terug, terug in de tijd, nooo

I don't know which way to go

Blijf zoeken naar de juiste weg
This time I will run the show, no I won't wait again

Yeah, the world is mine
This time I know, things will go my way
Yeah this is my time, and I will make it
No matter what they say

And the ups and downs, zal ik overleven
What doesn't kill you makes you strong
Yeah, the world is mine
Niemand houdt me tegen
I'm gonna live the dream, I'll always keep singing my song

Soms wordt het iets te veel
En zeggen ze dat ik het op moet geven
But that's not how I feel
Want ik zal altijd overleven

I don't know which way to go
Blijf zoeken naar de juiste weg
This time I will run the show, no I won't wait again

Yeah, the world is mine
This time I know, things will go my way
Yeah this is my time, and I will make it
No matter what they say

And the ups and downs, zal ik overleven
What doesn't kill you makes you strong
Yeah, the world is mine
Niemand houdt me tegen
I'm gonna live the dream, I'll always keep singing my song?
Ooooh, oooooh, oooooh
Things will go my way
Ooooh, oooooh, oooooh
No matter what they say

Yeah, the world is mine
This time I know, things will go my way
Yeah this is my time, and I will make it
No matter what they say

And the ups and downs, zal ik overleven
What doesn't kill you makes you strong
Yeah, the world is mine

Niemand houdt me tegen
I'm gonna live the dream, I'll always keep singing my song
