And be inspired to go further than I could ever go

They told me fame was fleeting

Dreamed about it every day

And there wasn't much for showing
没什么好说的,我日日夜夜在不断地追逐
But now that I look back
可我现在,转过头去,看看自己的曾经
I'd take a different path
若我踏上了一条完全不同的道路
I'd learn to be appreciative of what I've always had
我还是会羡慕地看着我现在所做过的一切
Cause there's a chance I'll never see these dreams unfold

So the journey alone

Should be worth it's weight in gold that is
