Living each day to the max
I'm drinking up every glass
I don't want much
I want more
Now I am free
And want it all
I'm learning Spanish and Bridge
I'm playing chess and the piano
I fight, I win and I lose
Never give up
I want it all
I won't say "maybe" no more
I scream out loud how I feel
I'm going all in for real
I want more
I want more
I want it all
No longer modest and numb1
No longer cheated and dumb2
No!
I want it all
I want it all
And I want it now
Before these dreams inside me turn to dust somehow3
Wanna live
I want to be
Just as I am
And whatever drags me down
Don't give a damn4
No-one puts me off
No-one is enough5
For too long I have passed things up
And made myself small
I want it all
I want it all
Don't lock me in
Never again
I'll take less than my share
I'm building walls made of light
I'm turning water to wine
I catch that moment in time
For I'm free
And want it all
Don't want to sit down and watch
I want to do my own part
And always know where to start6
I'm not giving in
I want it all
Never have any regrets
Don't want to be wise, just smart
Don't want to be perfect, just fine
I want more
I want more
I want it all
No longer modest and numb
No longer cheated and dumb
No!
I want it all
I want it all
And I want it now
Before these dreams inside me turn to dust somehow
Wanna live
I want to be
Just as I am
And whatever drags me down
Don't give a damn
No-one puts me off
No-one is enough
For too long I have passed things up
And made myself small
I want it all
I want it all
Don't lock me in
Never again
I'll take less than my share
