  You know, wishing won't make it so
  Hoping won't do it, praying won't do it
  Religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it
  The supreme court won't do it,
  	the president and the congress won't do it
  The UN won't do it, the H-bomb won't do it,
  	the sun and the moon won't do it
  And God won't do it,
  	and I certainly won't do it
  That leaves you, you'll have to do it
  
  I know that you've been wondering
  	if I'm the same man inside
  Never tried to fool you
  	'cause I've got nothing to hide
  I gave you fair warning I could never be tied down
  'Til I've seen paradise with my very own eyes
  Love owns us all, Time owns us all, Life owns us all
  But the world doesn't own me
  Dontcha follow me now
  I ain't afraid to say I may have been wrong
  I have to go now
  I'd rather live by a dream than live by a lie
  And that's why
  There ain't no cure for what I've got baby
  We just have to suffer
  I feel no pain, I can't complain,
  	things could always be rougher
  But I picked up this banner
  	and I just can't put it down (No)
  I can't let the world die just 'cause no one would try
  Dontcha follow me now
  Everybody's got to find his own place in the sun,
  	everyone
  So shine on me now
  I'd rather live by a dream then live by a lie
  You can say what you will about me
  	talk is cheap and I don't mind
  When you lay your life down in them grooves
  	you know you're bound to get scratched up sometime
  It's only just a song, pay me no mind
  I have to go now
  You've got to walk that road alone
  	if you walk it at all
  Don't follow me now
  I gave you all fair warning
  Now it's goodbye
  And every once in a while why don't you think of me
  'Cause it's a long, long time and a long way to go
  Can't you see the light shining in my eyes
  'Cause it's just one victory
  'Cause your dream goes on forever
  Don't you know that I've been trying
  	to get my trip together
  Be a real man
  I got to be a real man
  1, 2, 3, do it one more time
  Be a real man
  Everybody be a real man
  Go then, don't believe, and I don't know
  'Cause I got to be a real man
  You can be a man, a real man
  I'll swim that river, climb that mountain
  You and me, we all gotta be, real men
