An old man stands on a street corner, with a wistful look in his eye
He's contemplating his place in the world, as all the nine to fivers pass him by
He's got so many reasons to live for, even those he can't yet see
He'll find a way to leave his mark on the world as that's the way it was supposed to be
'Cause everybody's got something special, something they keep inside
A little dream they're trying to achieve
Everybody's got a little ambition, something for which they strive
Maybe one day they'll have their own little victory, their little victory
A young girl dreams of being an actor escaping trailer park poverty
She'd like to take her shot in Hollywood, not working at the local grocery
She's seen her mother live her life for others, never having anything at all
She's not gonna let her life pass her by, she's gonna stand up ten feet tall
'Cause everybody's got something special, something they keep inside
A little dream they're trying to achieve
Everybody's got a little ambition, something for which they strive
Maybe one day they'll have their own little victory, their little victory
A college student livin' in the big city, getting everything he needs for free
He's selling 'E' to the hardcore ravers, wherever they need him to be
He's dreamed of having a career in high finance, its being weighing heavy on his mind
He'd make an excellent investment banker, if he could only seem to find the time
'Cause everybody's got something special, something they keep inside
A little dream they're trying to achieve
Everybody's got a little ambition, something for which they strive
Maybe one day they'll have their own little victory, their little victory
'Cause everybody's got something special, something they keep inside
A little dream they're trying to achieve
Everybody's got a little ambition, something for which they strive
Maybe one day they'll have their own little victory,
Little victory, little victory, little victory, little victory, little victory, little victory
