Dreams of greatness, dreams of fame.
Every day is all the same
You think of all the things you want to do
Future's always on your mind
The now will always stay behind
To eat your daily bread with or without you

Yesterday is gone like ship lost at sea
Tomorrow is uncertain, it might not even be
Take your chances, make your choice, you've got to go get on your way
You can do whatever you want, because you're the master of today

Restless days and sleepless nights
The essence of your lonely life
Thoughts preventing action every time
Too much said and nothing done
No one said you can't have fun
The hidden thoughts weigh heavy on your mind.

Thinking of the smile you hid
Regretting things you never did
Still you'll do the same mistakes again
No one knows just how you feel
And your wounds still bleed and cannot heal
You can't find what you need to ease the pain

And it drives you insane

Yesterday is gone like ship lost at sea
Tomorrow is uncertain, it might not even be
Take your chances, make your choice, you've got to go get on your way
You can do whatever you want, because you're the master of today
