Great Expectations

"GREAT EXPECTATIONS" By Jesse Scobie

Verse I:
One door opens, the other closes
Always the wrong time and place
You had visions of where you would be
But now they’re gone without a trace

I see a boy in the mirror, with a smile on his face
He’s dreaming of playing at Carnegie Hall
He’s dreaming of the girl he’ll take to the ball
I wish I had the heart to say it’s not a waste

Chorus I:
We all have great expectations of where we think we should be
We all start on different foundations, but we share a common creed
Goals of success, helping the world from sea to shinning sea
To fulfill those great expectations, rising above is the key
To following your dreams

Verse II:
She’s been having the hardest time
Trying to remember all of her lines
He’s running through hell just to find
Money to put food on the table

I see a family of three, laughing in the park
They’re walking their dog on the street
While a homeless man eats for free
I see the world rising, past the dark


Chorus II:
We all have great expectations of where we think we should be
We all start on different foundations, but we share a common creed
Goals of success, helping the world, breaking the chains to be free
To fulfill those great expectations, we change what we need
And live out our dreams..
