Different but the Same

There's no time to phone home

When you're racin', you're on time

You contemplate, you gotta wait your own turn

Up the noise with some poison, with great poise

You can't compare it too, or let it scare you through

If everything you do is not as smoothly as we planned

You gotta understand:

There is more for you

But all you gotta do, ooh

Is put yourself with the people

They're the ones who make the world spin

Lust in favor, you can win

And you'll take home the gold medallion

And ride the wobbly wave of fame

That is why you came

That is why you

Came to your senses

To feel it out

And try to kill off every dial

Your mother worries, but no one worries quite like you

And when you start you must rely on your own heart

Cause nothing works the same or takes the blame or wins the game

With your head in your hands in the pouring rain

I wanna see you as you are

Like a lonely star

There is more for you

But all you gotta do, ooh

Is put yourself with the people

They're the ones who make the world spin

Lust in favor, you can win

And you'll take home the gold medallion

And ride the wobbly wave of fame

That is why you came

That is why you came

You gotta be so strong

You gotta teach your son

How to stand up straight

When you wanna run

How to carry on

How to be yourself

To be different.. but the same

That is why you came
