When I was but a young child   I heard a voice from inside   Tell me there is a reason you're here   So I just pretended and life was oh so splendid   And I felt my time drawing near      For my purpose, mission   Dream, ambition all I could see   Tugging, pushing, nudging, pulling   Burning inside of me      In my delusions of grandeur   I can do what I want to do, be what I want to be   Delusions of grandeur   Life is but a dream no impossibility   As far as I can see no impossibility      Someday they'll want my diary   Autograph, family history   They'll follow me all over town   Well you can call it an illusion   Trick, deception or hallucination   But I'm perfectly sound      With my purpose, mission   Dream, ambition all I could see   Tugging, pushing, nudging, pulling   Burning inside of me      In my delusions of grandeur   I can do what I want to do, be what I want to be   Delusions of grandeur   Life is but a dream, no impossibility   As far as I can see no impossibility      Purpose, mission   Dream, ambition all I could see   Tugging, pushing, nudging, pulling   Burning inside of me      In my delusions of grandeur   I can do what I want to do, be what I want to be   Delusions of grandeur   Life is but a dream, no impossibility   As far as I can see no impossibility      Delusions of grandeur   I can do what I want to do, be what I want to be   Delusions of grandeur   Life is but a dream, no impossibility   As far as I can see no impossibility
