Future Sight Lyrics

I grew up as an only child

I was mommy and daddy's little girl

Two years-old, a book in my lap

They said I would take on the world

Oh, strolling through life with heavy feet

I know I've got expectations to meet

But I was always afraid of shooting for the stars

'Cause they were your stars, not mine

And I'm sorry for all the times that I've let you down

I'm sorry for all the words

That never settled in my head

I'm sorry I strayed

Even though you prayed that I'd make you proud

But I have my future in sight

And it's shining bright

I promise I'll make you proud in my own way

Elementary, always on top

I was a bearer of honors and awards

Six through twelve, I fell into line

I became just an average girl

Oh, you think my place is among the clouds

But who I was back then is not who I am now

And I'm still afraid of shooting for the stars

'Cause they're still your stars, not mine

And I'm sorry for all the times that I've let you down

I'm sorry for all the words

That never settled in my head

I'm sorry I strayed

Even though you prayed that I'd make you proud

But I have my future in sight

And it's shining bright

I promise I'll make you proud in my own way

Dancer, singer, behind a computer

Not my first choice

But I'm still going somewhere

No will, no drive

Just getting through life

I know you don't believe me

But I will survive

And I'm sorry for all the times that I've let you down

I'm sorry for all the words

That never settled in my head

I'm sorry I strayed

Even though you prayed that I'd make you proud

But I have my future in sight

And it's shining bright

I promise I'll make you proud

Oh, I'm sorry for all the plans that I never followed through

I'm sorry for all the rules and promises that I've broken

I'm sorry I strayed

Even though you prayed that I'd make you proud

But I have my future in sight

And it's shining bright

I promise I'll make you proud in my own way

Oh, I promise I'll make you proud in my own way
