[VERSE 1 — GALEN]
Another day, another name
Another face, another game
Ask the questions, write it down
Send the soldiers back to town
I know there's more I'm meant to do
If only someone had a clue
I've got a mind that could advise
The men who make the world decide
[VERSE 2 — RICHARD]
Another road, another wall
Another voice that says, "That's all"
I've seen what men can build and make
I've seen the chances that they take
There's something waiting past these chains
Beyond these borders and these names
Why should we settle for the ground
When there's a whole world waiting out?
[PRE-CHORUS — GALEN & RICHARD]
[GALEN:] Maybe we're just looking for a door
[RICHARD:] Maybe we're just asking for some more
[GALEN:] Someone ought to recognize—
[RICHARD:] Someone ought to realize—
[BOTH:]
There's more to us than what they see!
[CHORUS — BOTH]
We were meant for more than this
More than waiting, more than wishing
More than taking what's been handed down
And wearing it like a crown
We were meant for something more
There's a bigger world beyond this door
Maybe nobody knows what we could be
But I know you understand me
We were meant for more than this!
[VERSE 3 — GALEN]
I could stand beside the throne
Where the greatest minds are known
Give them counsel, make them see
What a man like me could be
[RICHARD]
I could build a better way
Give tomorrow more than yesterday
Why should anyone decide
What a man is worth before he tries?
[GALEN — laughing]
You know, I think we're thinking alike.
[RICHARD]
You know. I think you're right.
[PRE-CHORUS — BOTH]
We've been waiting, we've been wondering
We've been watching from below
Maybe all we ever needed
Was somebody else to know!
[CHORUS — BOTH]
We were meant for more than this
More than waiting, more than wishing
More than taking what's been handed down
And wearing it like a crown
We were meant for something more
There's a bigger world beyond this door
Maybe nobody knows what we could be
But I know you understand me
We were meant for more than this!
[BRIDGE — OVERLAPPING]
[GALEN:] One day they'll hear me—
[RICHARD:] One day they'll hear us—
]GALEN:] One day they'll see—
[RICHARD:] One day we'll be free—
[GALEN:] I'll have a place where I belong—
[RICHARD:] We'll build a place where we belong—
[GALEN:] They'll finally know my name—
[RICHARD:] They'll never keep us tame—
[BOTH:]
If we're meant for more,
Then we can't stay here anymore!
[FINAL CHORUS — BOTH]
We were meant for more than this!
More than hiding, more than waiting!
More than living someone else's dream
Or being less than what we seem!
We were meant for something more!
There's a whole world waiting past that door!
Maybe nobody knows what we could be—
[GALEN:] But I know you understand me!
[RICHARD:] Yeah, I know you understand me!
[BOTH:]
We were meant for more than this!
[OUTRO — spoken, laughing]
[RICHARD:] What's your unit?
[GALEN:] What's yours?
[RICHARD:] Fair enough.
[BOTH:] To more.
