Michael Jordan lyrics

I was 14 and losing ground

In a black top of a town

Where no one wins and no one's leaving

My dad said, “Son, you finish school

Because this world can be so cruel”

I said, “You too” and kept on dreaming

I’m nothing like you, nothing like you

Why don't you know anything about me?

I swear somehow, I'll make you proud

But why you wanna always go and doubt me

Story of my life in 1995

A hero in Chicago, a legend in my mind

A million lonely nights, a million times I tried

To jump like Michael Jordan, but never quite as high

High, high

High

When I was 19 I ran so far

They couldn’t catch me on the yard

I traveled unfamiliar places

My dad said “Son, just come back home

You won't survive out on your own

You're on a fast break running aimless”

But I'm nothing like you, nothing like you

Why don't you believe I have the answers?

I swear somehow I'll make you proud

But why can't you just let me take my chances now?

Story of my life in 1995

A hero in Chicago, a legend in my mind

A million lonely nights, a million times I tried

To jump like Michael Jordan, but never quite as high

I'm 49, the game is mine

And every night is overtime

I beat the odds and I’m still playing

My dad has passed he’s been long gone

I wish he'd met my teenage son

It’s been harder than I thought to raise him

I'm just like you, so much like you

Silent as he's jumping for a layup

But I'm so proud of him, so proud

But just like you I’m still too scared to say it

So I'll say it now

Story of my life in 1995

A hero in Chicago, a legend in my mind

A million lonely nights, a million times I tried

To jump like Michael Jordan

Story of my life in 1995

A hero in Chicago, a legend in our minds

A million lonely nights, a million times we tried

To jump like Michael Jordan, but never quite as high

High, jump like Michael Jordan

I hope you'll reach the sky

I hope you'll reach the sky

I hope you'll reach the sky
