From the recording After The Rainbow - Songs From The Show
Lyrics
I been checking out, holed up in my house
Waiting for someone to come and find me out
Don’t wanna take the risk too scared to shake my fist
I know that it ain’t right but can’t seem to change it
And if my dreams were meant to just be dreams
Then why would i keep seeing them again and again
If you want an extraordinary life, got to make an extraordinary life
No more sittin on the sidelines no more hiding from the lights
Got to get on with this day get up and find yourself your own way
If you want an extraordinary life, got to make it
I been wastin time searchin for the signs
And though I’ve seen them all I keep stayin behind
Just want to be seen but the reality’s
I’m no longer 5 years old, now it’s up to me
And if my life were meant to just be “fine”
Then why would I keep whining like nothing is alright?
If you want an extraordinary life, got to make an extraordinary life
No more sittin on the sidelines no more hiding from the light
Got to get on with this day get up and find your own way
If you want an extraordinary life, got to make IT
Oooh don’t be no one’s fool
‘Specially when you’re the only one who thinks the fool is you
Gotta wake up and decide each day
To get out of your own way no matter what they say
If you want an extraordinary life, got to make an extraordinary life
No more sittin on the sidelines no more hiding from the lights
If you want to live life on high, you got to give what you got inside
If you want to make a difference, got to get up in the business
So go get on with your bad self, don’t try to be no one else
