Oh, this is a heart-wrenching song for me! All of us are filled with the dreams of our parents and later our own longing to be successful, but few of us will truly scale those heights.
But when we're young, we imagine we can do anything, given time. But time itself often wears away any chance we might have had to accomplish our goals. And in searching for the fantastic future we lose our happiness and freedom that we had in our youth.
As adults, we commit ourselves to things we can't back away from: children, work, spouses, etc. And so, the show must go on - we can on with our lives in the hope that one day our dream will come true (even though, deep down, we know it can't possibly happen).

So sad, so true!
