That old wind that's whipping out there
  It's whistlin' your tune
  That wind blew pyramids to Egypt
  And footprints to the moon
    And that old star that you been wishin' on
  Is shinin' mighty bright
  But it's the fire inside your heart
  That's gonna lead you to the light
    How you ever gonna know
  What it's like to live there
  How you ever gonna know victory
  How you ever gonna know
  What it's like when dreams become reality
  How you ever gonna know
  How it feels to hold her
  How you ever gonna know
  What it's like to dance
  How you ever gonna know
  If you never take a chance
    You know failure isn't failure
  If a lesson from it's learned
  I guess love would not be love
  Without a risk of being burned
    Anything in life worth havin'
  Lord, it has its sacrifice
  But the gift that you're receiving
  Is worth more than a price
    How you ever gonna know
  What it's like to live there
  How you ever gonna know
  What you never knew
  How you ever gonna know
  If you're down here doin'
  What the good Lord put you here to do
  How you ever gonna know
  If you could have done it
  How you ever gonna know
  How it feels to fly
  How you ever gonna know
  If you never dare to try
    Listen not to the critics
  Who put their own dreams on the shelf
  If you want to get the truth to admit it
  You gotta find out for yourself
    How you ever gonna know
  What it's like to be there
  How you ever gonna know
  If you're the best
  How you ever gonna know
  What you believe in
  If you don't put it to the test
  How you ever gonna know
  How it feels to hold him
  How you ever gonna know
  What livin' means
  How you ever gonna know
  If you never chase the dreams
    How you ever gonna know
  Your potential
  How you ever gonna know victory
  How you ever gonna know
  What it's like when dreams become reality
  How you ever gonna know
  How it feels to hold her
  How you ever gonna know
  What it's like to dance
  How you ever gonna know
  If you never take a chance
