I had a place to live in
I had a job worth quitting
I had some things I had to chase
Mistakes but we all make them
We celebrate being young
I had the chance to runaway
And I wish upon a satelite
That a wrong can't turn a right
Believe me, that we are
Our only chance in the world
If fate should fail us
Then hope will see us through
And we are, our only chance in the world
So stand for something
Cos somethings overdue
And I don't ask for much
But this could define a lifetime
A dead mans hands
We are the only friends we ever had
They called it education
I saw a means to an end
I saw my life in other ways
To live and die a king
I thought there could be worst fates
To land upon and I could go back home
When it all blew up in my face
And I wish upon a satelite
That wrong can't turn a right
Believe me, that we are
Our only chance in the world
If fate should fail us
Then hope will see us through
And we are, our only chance in the world
So stand for something
Cos somethings overdue
And I don't ask for much
But this could define a lifetime
A dead mans hands
We are the only friends we ever had
You'd need a map to see how far
I was sticking out my neck
We all have things that we all second guess
And fears of being ordinary
And I wish upon a satelite
That a wrong can't turn a right
Believe me, that we are
Our only chance in the world
If fate should fail us
Then hope will see us through
And we are, our only chance in the world
So stand for something
Cos somethings overdue
And I don't ask for much
But this could define a lifetime
At a dead mans hands
We are the only friends we ever had
At a dead mans hands
We are the only friends we ever had
