Once for how I Dsus2look, and once for who am I?
Cadd9Looking for the glint of innocence in my eye
But it's all long Ggone, cause I'm grown-up,
I made misEmtakes but I always owned up,
After all Dsus2screwin` up`s the only thing that ever taught me anything,
AnCadd9yway I know when I see a vision I can get it any Gdream any day anyway I Emcan,
I got the force of the universe in my Dsus2hand,
Yeah that's the law of attraction
You Cadd9get what you've been given with your thoughts and your actions
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9Where do I go, GI dont even Emknow I won’t deDsus2ny  it,
