Cowboys ride into sunsets

The good guy always gets the girl

Cinderella has just fit

The glass slipper that changed her world

We all know the stories

We all know the fairy tales

We all get the glory

Of making it for ourselves

Chorus:

From the beginning

We're all looking for a happy ending

Every dream of winning

Every love we'be been in

Right from the beginning

We're looking for a happy ending

We come here with nothing

And take it with us the day we leave

The first and last breath don't matter

It's all the ones that are in between

It's the reason for living

It's the reason the caged bird sings

It's why we sit in the movies

All the way to the closing scene

repeat chorus

And for all the dreams who have come and gone

Who have reached for the stars who have overcome

You're the hope, you're the wish, you're the truth

Baby here's the proof

Baby's born in the ghetto

Baby's born with a silver spoon

One tells his mama, "I'll have a dream."

One tells his mama, "I'll walk the moon."

repeat chorus twice
