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, victory?

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?
