Someone Beats the Odds

Mary dropped out of school, at seventeen
Ran off and married Stan, start a family
But her dream never died, to teach school one day
And at thirty-three, she got her Masters degree
Well, what do you know?
Everyone has their calling
To what they're meant to be
And it's those dreams we share
That determines reality
Those who would dare to dream
Bring sweetness to our souls
Someone beats the odds
Someone else says
Well, what do you know?
Bob worked really hard, living check to check
Did jobs on the side, try to get ahead
His dream never died, to control his destiny
And at forty-three, he bought the company
Well, what do you know?
