Testi

[Verse 1]
'Scuse me, Mr. Dickens, I've got something on my mind
I've tried but I can't seem to let it go
Lately, I've been thinking 'bout that little orphan boy
Whose parents died and left him all alone
[Verse 2]
Then an outlaw came one fateful day
While standing at his parent's grave
And offered him another way to climb
And now, I wonder
Is that orphan's story mine?
[Chorus]
All these great expectations
Meet these grave revelations
Am I the one in control?
Is it all predetermined?
Am I playing a role?
Part of a story foretold?
[Verse 3]
Darrel was on his way up in the world
Everyone knew he'd go far
Life came along, it had different plans
How quickly a dream falls apart
[Verse 4]
Johnny has no kind of chance in this world
Not from where he's had to start
Who knows how far in this life he could go
If he played a different part
[Verse 5]
I look around at all of my friends
And still I feel alone
I would follow them to battle
But their story's not my own
[Verse 6]
They say there's strengths in numbers
But they never think at all
About a path that leads you out
Beyond these city walls
[Bridge]
I've got great expectations
Great expectations
Great expectations
Great expectations
[Verse 7]
Torn between what is and what could be
It's hard to write the story
When the story's writing me
[Chorus]
When this great expectation
Meets this grave revelation
Maybe this cover's not yours
When your book's full of creases
And you see that the grease is
Telling a story
But you've read that one before
[Outro]
So you fight just to show them
That you're not all the same
That under the cover, there's more
