James, we were always friends
From our childhood days
And we made our plans
And we had to go our separate ways
I went on the road
You pursued an education
James, do you like your life
Can you find release
And will you ever change
Will you ever write your masterpiece
Are you still in school
Living up to expectations, James.
You were so relied upon, everybody knows how hard you tried
Hey just look at what a job you’ve done
Carrying the weight of family pride
James, you’ve been well behaved
You’ve been working so hard
But will you always stay
Someone else's dream of who you are
Do what’s good for you, or you’re not good for anybody, James
I went on the road
You pursued an education, James
How you gonna know for sure-everything was so well organized
Hey now everything is so secure
And everybody else is satisfied
James, do you like your life
Can you find release
And will you ever change
When will you write your masterpiece
Do what’s good for you, or you’re not good for anybody, James
From our childhood days
And we made our plans
And we had to go our separate ways
I went on the road
You pursued an education
James, do you like your life
Can you find release
And will you ever change
Will you ever write your masterpiece
Are you still in school
Living up to expectations, James.
You were so relied upon, everybody knows how hard you tried
Hey just look at what a job you’ve done
Carrying the weight of family pride
James, you’ve been well behaved
You’ve been working so hard
But will you always stay
Someone else's dream of who you are
Do what’s good for you, or you’re not good for anybody, James
I went on the road
You pursued an education, James
How you gonna know for sure-everything was so well organized
Hey now everything is so secure
And everybody else is satisfied
James, do you like your life
Can you find release
And will you ever change
When will you write your masterpiece
Do what’s good for you, or you’re not good for anybody, James

It maybe selfish, but this line changed my life. I tried living up to other people's expectations of me. It isn't easy to do.
