I'm gonna be great one day

My hometown is where I'm gonna stay

And everyone is gonna look up to me.

 

I'm gonna be great one day

I'll kick, hit and throw a ball

And everyone is gonna look up to me.

 

I'm gonna be great one day

I'm gonna make all the bad guys run away

And everyone is gonna look up to me.

 

I am great today

Becoming who I'm meant to be

And I only look for approval from kid me.

 

Tommorrow I will be better than great

Have recognition from state to state

But first I gotta figure out me

By looking through these childhood memories.
