When I was but a young child I heard a voice from inside tell me there is a reason you're here,
So I just pretended and life was, oh, so splendid, and I felt my time drawing near,
For my purpose, mission, dream, ambition ' all I could see,
Tugging, pushing, nudging, pulling, burning inside of me.

In my delusions of grandeur,
I can do what I want to do, be what I want to be,
Delusions of grandeur,
Life is but a dream, no impossibility. (as far as I could see, no impossibility)

Someday they'll want my diary, autographs, family history,
They'll follow me all over town,
You can call it an illusion, trick, deception or hallucination, but I'm perfectly sound,
With my purpose, mission, dream, ambition ' all I could see,
Tugging, pushing, nudging, pulling, burning inside of me.

In my delusions of grandeur,
I can do what I want to do, be what I want to be,
Delusions of grandeur,
Life is but a dream, no impossibility. (as far as I could see, no impossibility)

Delusions of grandeur,
