Lyrics
People who think they can
Expressing a desire to emulate those who believe in their abilities
I want to be just like those
Desire to resemble individuals with self-confidence and optimism
Who think they can
Reiteration of the aspiration to think positively and believe in oneself
I want to be not so far away
Wishing to be close to the original plan or goal
From where I'd planned to be by now
Expressing a sense of being behind schedule or not reaching intended milestones
Time has a bad habit of flying
Reflecting on the rapid passage of time
I was sleeping when it passed me by
Regret for missing opportunities due to unawareness or inaction
I was dreaming of what
Dreaming about future achievements and success
I would wear when I got there
Imagining the details of accomplishments, including attire
It's not easy being green
Acknowledging challenges in standing out or being unique
In a world where you have to
Highlighting the difficulty of being distinctive in a competitive world
Tread on other people
Recognizing the need to compete with others for recognition
Just to find a place
Describing the struggle to secure a place in the world
To put your wares on
Referring to the necessity of showcasing one's talents or goods
Show it's not required
Emphasizing that demonstrating abilities is not obligatory
That you sing, write or play
Asserting that success doesn't always require singing, writing, or playing instruments
Just wear the tightest one
Suggesting that appearance and confidence may be more critical than talent
And smile in that certain way and
Encouraging the adoption of a confident demeanor and positive attitude
Think you can
Reiterating the desire to believe in oneself and one's capabilities
I want to be not so far away
Repeating the wish to be close to the original plan or goal
From where I planned to be
Expressing the longing to achieve the intended objectives
Good things come to those who wait
Emphasizing the belief that good things come with patience
I'm going to lift my head
Commitment to raising one's head and maintaining a confident posture
And keep my back up straight
Determination to stay resilient and upright in challenging situations
And when it matters most
Commitment to facing challenges with resilience
And I can't be found I'll just
Expressing confidence in overcoming obstacles
Climb to the top
Symbolic ascent to a higher position when facing difficulties
And you will find me
Imagery of being present in the company of confident and optimistic individuals
Hanging around with
Describing association with positive and self-assured people
People who think they can
Reiteration of the desire to be among those who believe in their abilities
