My Secret Origin — текст песни (Ookla The Mok)

There was a boy who knew
he could be anything that he wanted to.
Everybody told him he had a singular destiny.
Everybody said he`d go far--
everybody said he`d be a star.
They said he could be anything he wanted to be--
then he turned into me.
Now it seems increasingly unlikely
that I`m gonna grow up to be Luke Skywalker--
not gonna be Indiana Jones.
And after all this time
it`s probably not gonna turn out
that I`m the super-powered heir
to a world that isn`t there anymore.
But somebody told me I was special.
Somebody told me that I could be
anything I wanted to be.
How could they have known the dreams I had
were not the dreams they had for me?
They said I could be what I wanted--
they had no idea what I wanted.
And I don`t mean to seem ungrateful
for all their encouragement and praise.
I just meant to say that I don`t intend
to stay and spend
another wasted year, cause at the end
I bet I`d still be sitting here
wasting time and waiting.
I`m waiting for my Lady of the Lake
to come and crown me king.
I`m waiting for my rocket to land
so I can get my power ring.
I`m waiting for my radioactive meteorite to fall.
I`m waiting but I ain`t got no meteorite at all.
I`m waiting for my story to begin.
I`m waiting for my... I`m not done.
Don`t count me out of it--
my story isn`t over yet.
I`m not the son of some Roman god but anyway
I think I`m gonna be okay.
And looking back I find it seems
I`ve always had unlikely dreams
but I can`t let that stop me now,
it`s time to grow up anyhow.
And I may not be Hercules
but here`s my new philosophy:
