That old wind that's whippin' out there It's whistlin' your tune That wind blew pyramids to Egypt and footprints to the moon And that old star that you've been wishin' on Is shining mighty bright It's a fire inside your heart That's gonna lead you to the light How you ever gonna know, What's it like to live there? How you ever gonna know, victory? How you ever gonna know, What it's like when dreams become reality? How you ever gonna know, How it feels to hold it? How you ever gonna know, what it's like to dance? How you ever gonna know, If you never take the chance? You know failure isn't failure If a lesson from it's learned I guess love would not be love Without a risk of being burned Anything in life worth havin' Lord, it has its sacrifice But the gift that you're receiving Is worth more than the price How you ever gonna know, What's it like to live there? How you ever gonna know, What you never know? How you ever gonna know, If you're down here doin' what the good lord puts you here to do? How you ever gonna know, If you could have done it? How you ever gonna know, How it feels to fly? How you ever gonna know, If you never dare to try? Listen not to the critics, Who put their own dreams on the shelf If you wanna get the truth to admit it, You've gotta find out for yourself How you ever gonna know, What it's like to be there? How you ever gonna know, If you're the best? How you ever gonna know, What you believe in if you don't put it to the test? How you ever gonna know, How it feels to hold it? How you ever gonna know, What'll never change it? How you ever gonna know, If you never chase the dream? How you ever gonna know, Your potential? How you ever gonna know, How you ever gonna know, What's it like when dreams become reality? How you ever gonna know, How it feels to hold her? How you ever gonna know, What it's like to dance? How you ever gonna know, If you never take the chance?
