The first and last breath don't matter
Baby, here's the proof
It's why we see it in the movies
We all know the fairy tales
Every dream of winning, every love we've been in
From the beginning
Every dream of winning, every love we've been in
We all know the story
We've come here with nothing
From the beginning
We're all looking for a happy ending
From the beginning
We're all looking for a happy ending
Every dream of winning, every love we've been in
We're all looking for a happy ending
Cinderella has just fit
You're the hope, you're the wish, you're the truth
All the way to the closing scenes
A glass slipper that changed her world
It's all the ones that are in between
Right from the beginning, we're looking for
Who have reached for the stars, who have overcome
From the beginning
We all get the glory
Right from the beginning, we're looking for a happy ending
Every dream of winning every love we've been in
It's the reason the caged bird sings
Baby's born with a silver spoon
And for all those dreamers who have come and gone
And take it with us the day we leave
Of making it for ourselves
It's the reason for living
Right from the beginning, we're looking for a happy ending
We're all looking for a happy ending
One tells his mama, "I have a dream"
One tells his mama, "I walk the moon"
Baby's born in a ghetto
