Sometimes I think about the old days, remember where we came from Reflect on what it took for us to make it this far From dreaming in a parking lot, wasting away To seas of faces, social status, and a sense of victory in my heart Don't blink, you'll miss what's coming next Can you feel it in your chest? It's gonna be beautiful Say what you want about us, when's it ever slowed us down? With a little bit of faith, a lot of patience We turned this could-be into something amazing And I know what's gonna be We had a lot of dreams, a little bit of godsend Never could've dreamed where life would take us back then And I know what's gonna be Sometimes I think about the future, imagine how it's gonna feel To picture everything we've dreamed of coming to pass Got high ambitions and we're gonna be forever chasing destiny Manifesting more than we could ever conceive Don't blink, you'll miss what's coming next Can you feel it in your chest? It's gonna be beautiful Say what you want about us, when's it ever slowed us down? With a little bit of faith, a lot of patience We turned this could-be into something amazing And I know what's gonna be We had a lot of dreams, a little bit of godsend Never could've dreamed where life would take us back then And I know what's gonna be Well, the time's come to lay it all on the line and grow Into something more than we had ever seen We've waited all our lives for this day to come For it to all to pay off and become the sum of what we have worked to be With a little bit of faith, a lot of patience We turned this could-be into something amazing And I know what's gonna be We had a lot of dreams, a little bit of godsend Never could've dreamed where life would take us back then And I know what's gonna be And I know what's gonna be And I know what's gonna be, what's gonna be
