Cowboys ride into sunsets
The good guy always gets the girl
Cinderella has just fit
A glass slipper that changed her worldWe all know the story
We all know the fairy tales
We all get the glory
Of making it for ourselvesFrom the beginning
We're all looking for a happy ending
Every dream of winning every love we've been in
Right from the beginning, we're looking for a happy endingWe've 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 betweenIt's the reason for living
It's the reason the caged bird sings
It's why we see it in the movies
All the way to the closing scenesFrom the beginning
We're all looking for a happy ending
Every dream of winning, every love we've been in
Right from the beginning, we're looking for a happy endingAnd for all those dreamers 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 proofBaby's born in a ghetto
Baby's born with a silver spoon
One tells his mama, "I have a dream"
One tells his mama, "I walk the moon"From the beginning
We're all looking for a happy ending
Every dream of winning, every love we've been in
Right from the beginning, we're looking forFrom the beginning
We're all looking for a happy ending
Every dream of winning, every love we've been in
Right from the beginning, we're looking for a happy ending
