--/----
 I woke up  to a dream passing by
 It was the middle of the night
 Was I awake? Was I asleep?
 What was I doing outside?
 I saw a man walk from the trees
 He came and sat next to me
 He said, "Boy, if you
 don't follow your dreams
 You'll be dead someday
 Just like me"
 Then he got up
 and walked away
 And I started to think
 He turned around
 I saw his face
 And I looked deep
 in his eyes
 And I realized
 that man was me
 You're not for this world
 This world is for you
 And now is the time
 (There's no tomorrow!)
 So make the most
 of every day
 While you're alive
 (Stand for something!)
 I contemplate  my
 every day
 And everything I've
 been afraid to change
 Never good enough
 (promptly too late?)
 Always excuses away
 I used to think if
 I never tried
 I would never fail
 Now I realize I
 can do anything
 (Repeat Chorus)
 Too little too late
 And then you die
 And no  one even
 knows your name
 Don't let your light
 fight from your heart
 Your heart  gives you
 the best advice
 Believe!
 Bb C Gm-- Gm(hold)
  Believe!
 (Repeat Chorus)
 For what you believe
  Bb--F/A--Dm--F--Bb--F/A--Dm(hold)
 For what you believe
