  • Don't worry, dear he'll never find the gun

    A child alone in daddy's room
    The gun was hidden here
    No one home to catch me when I fall

    A young man now in a private chair
    I've seen the world through a bitter stare
    But my dream is still alive
    I'm going to be the best I can

    I want to be a busy man
    I want to see a change in the future
    I'm gonna make the best of what I have
    I want to write for a magazine
    I'm gonna be the best they've ever seen
    I know I'll win if I give it all I can

    I won't let go
    Gotta make the grade, no I won't let go
    To be the best man, the best man that I can

    Back street hoop star you've got it good
    You were the wonder of the crumbling neighborhood
    Now taking bids on the next six digit plan
    Showed me that my will survived
    The tragedy that came into my life
    Giving me hope and the new start that I have

    And I won't let go
    Gotta make the grae no, I won't let go
    To be the best man, the best man that I can

    Step by step I dream the plan
    From my chair to walking man
    This constant dream is on my mind
    Chase the light I see ahead
    Luminate the path I tread
    I live to be the best I can

    Now I'm moving forward and I'm never looking back
    Straight ahead, focused on the big attack
    On a roll and I'm never slowing down
    I won't be torn between
    The man in the chair and the man that's in my dream
    I'm going to melt the two men into one

    And I won't let go
    Gotta make the grade I set no, I won't let it go
    To be the best man,
    The best man that I can
    The best man that I can
    The best man that I can Writer/s: CHRISTOPHER DEGARMO
