You can call it anything you want the fact remains the same
    I never got to be your Fred Astaire
    You can lie to yourself and all your friends and pretend that you don't care
    But circumstance gets in the way
    You have so many opportunities I never had
    Don't push so hard, nothing is ever easy
    And this talent that you take for granted, it's a gift from god
    Don't pass it up, nothing is ever easy
    Are you ready to work real hard
    Are you tired it's just the start
    Listen to me son, I'll take you far
    You can call it anything you want the fact remains the same
    I never got to be your Fred Astaire
    You can lie to yourself and all your friends and pretend that you don't care
    But circumstance gets in the way
    Heel, toe, heel, toe, side to side AGAIN, gonna get it right
    Don't push so hard, nothing is ever easy
    Don't forget your please and thank you's, don't forget to smile
    Don't pass this up, nothing is ever easy
    Their pushing these children for all the wrong reasons
    So far man you're crushing down their spirits
    Suffocate, emancipate, turn their backs and walk away eventually
    Seeking, one of these paths
    You're wasting time --- I call it living
    To the world what are you giving
    You're wasting time
