Learn more about this song

Somehow I have forgotten to believe in myself.
Some time ago, I lost all hope and I can't find my way.
I guess that for too long I have been listening to those who say,
"You can't do that. Give up. There's just no way."

Chorus:
"Don't you know your dreams are too impossible?
You can't make a life that way.
Give up now. You're not cut out for what your hopes entail.
You know I only say this 'cuz it's true.
Because I care for you."

Aspirations that I treasured as a child were left behind,
And I turned my back on all the dreams that fed my soul and mind.
In anguish I have tried to find some other way to be.
But I know I can't do that. There's just no way.

Chorus:
But I've been told my dreams are too impossible.
I can't make a life that way.
I've given up. I'm not cut out for what my hopes entail.
And I know that what they say is very true;
There's nothing I can do.

Whisper higher words of wisdom and hope my soul will hear.
Tell me I can rise above, and leave behind my fear.
I need to know there's purpose in the way I'm made to be.
If I want life I can't give up. There's just no way.

Chorus:
I must believe my dreams are more than possible,
'Cuz I can live my life no other way.
I must find the courage to fulfill my destiny.
Deep inside I know that what I say is true.
It's what I have to do.
