Break of day, the dawn is here
Johnny's up and pacing
Compromise or persevere?
His mind is racing

Johnny has no guide
Johnny wants to hide
Can he make his mark, if he gives up his spark?
Johnny can't decide

[SUSAN]
Susan longs to live by the sea
She's through with competition
Susan wants a family
Johnny's got a tough decision

Johnny has no guide

Johnny wants to hide
Can he settle down
[SUSAN] [JON]
And still not drown? And still not
Drown
[JON & SUSAN]
Johnny can't decide

[MICHAEL]
Michael's gonna have it all
His luck will never end
Johnny's backed against the wall
Can he bend his dreams, just like his friend?

I want to write music. I want to sit down
right now, at my piano, and write a song
that people will listen to and remember
and do the same thing every morning, for the rest of my life
