Lyrics: Queensryche. Empire. Best I Can.

A child alone in daddy's room, the gun was hidden here
No one home to catch me when I fall
Young man now in a private chair
I've seen the world through a bitter stare
But my dream is still alive, I'm going to be the best I can

I wanna be a busy man, I wanna see a change in the future
I'm gonna make the best of what I have
I wanna write for a magazine, I'm gonna be the best they've ever seen
I know I'll win if I give it all I can

And I won't let go
Gonna make the grade
No, I won't let go
To be the best man, the best man that I can

Back street hoop star you've got it good
You were the wonder of the crumbling neighborhood
Now taking bids on the next six digit plan
Showed me that my will survived the tragedy that came into my life
Giving me hope and the new start that I have

And I won't let go
Gotta make the grade
No, I won't let go
To be the best man, the best man that I can

Step by step I dream the plan from my chair to walking man
This constant dream is on my mind
Chase the light I see ahead, luminate the path I tread
I live to be the best I can

Now I'm moving forward and I'm never looking back
Straight ahead, focused on the big attack
I'm on a roll and I'm never gonna slow down
I won't be torn between the man in the chair and man that's in my dream
I'm gonna melt the two men into one

I won't let go
Gotta make the grade I set
Said, no, I won't let it go
To be the best man, the best man that I can, yeah
How about you

The best that I can, what about you
The best that I can, that's right, oh oh come on
The best man that I can
