Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From the very first time, back when I met you at school
I looked in your eyes, saw something special in you
We aspire that we will be American Dream
Escape this reality, come start a new one with me
[Verse 2]
We could be neighborhood royalty
Or much more than that, you see, we're making history
We'll go to the mass, fly to heaven and back
The highest heights we'll match, yes, we can do all of that, baby
[Verse 3]
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la
We could be king & queen someday
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la
We'll never throw our dreams away
[Verse 4]
We'll make this picture complete
Start a new family
A boy, that looks just like you
A girl, that looks just like me
[Verse 5]
And each day that they grow
We'll teach them all that we know
Help me show them the way
We'll show them we're not afraid
[Verse 6]
To be free
The only limit should be
The flyest fantasies
The highest they can dream
[Verse 7]
Grab hold to my hand
Say that you'll be my man
Someday, you'll be my king
And baby, I'm your queen to be
[Verse 8]
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la
We could be king & queen someday
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la
We'll never throw our dreams away
[Verse 9]
Cities may crumble
The world is in trouble
But we'll be in love
And we'll rise above it
Each of our people pray for a leader
I know we will be someday
[Verse 10]
Someday
Someday
Someday
Someday
[Verse 11]
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la
We'll never throw our dreams away
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la
We could be king & queen someday
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la
We'll never throw our dreams away
