The Mass Missile

You continued to be patient, didn't you? In your heart, you were crying, weren't you?
You won't give up on the dreams that you have decided upon, will you?

I hope that the number of laughs, and the number of times I've believed
Have been greater than the number of times I've been in pain
And the number of times I've been doubtful

I'm just a supporting actor, I'm just a person in the shadows
But there are times when I'm face to face with my dreams
Let me be in the middle of them, let me by myself

Many times so far, not having given up one way or the other
Many times so far, we've stood up to the challenge
Many times so far, haven't we?
Believing so many times, dreaming so many times
So many times...

Many times so far, we've seen some real idiots, haven't we?
So many times
We've stood in people's shadows, haven't we?
Alright, I'm the leading actor; it's a dream of mine
Let me be selfish

You've run away from all sorts of things
And postponed decisions
But only your dreams, only your dreams
Only your dreams...

There are a lot of supporting actors
There are times when I'm face to face with my dreams
Let me be in the middle of them, let me by myself
I'm going to be a leading actor, not a supporting one

Many times so far, not having given up one way or the other
Many times so far, we've stood up to the challenge
Many times so far, haven't we?
Believing so many times, dreaming so many times
So many times...

I've bent in all sorts of ways, in order to get through
I've been doubtful, in order to believe
I've hurt people, in order to protect
Many times so far

Many times so far, we've seen some real idiots, haven't we?
So many times, we've stood in people's shadows, haven't we?
Alright, I'm the leading actor; it's a dream of mine
Let me be selfish
