Be the Inspiration

Your mind races when you hear that song The sun glasses go on And the volume goes up Your foot hits the peddle while imagination races for a medal Maybe its the melody Or the singer who makes you feel like a winner Perhaps the words motivate your inner desire Which pushes you to let lose sets you on fire Each of us has a trigger And we want to be that super hero The kind that everyone looks up to But to be the inspiration You gotta be willing to let go of the illusion To be that speed racer and come up on top Look in that rear view mirror Ask yourself so why you in such a rush But then your ego says a…. man it ain’t no big deal everything’s cool Your heads bobbing to the beat your hair is flying in the wind Ya got this view of how everything should be But deep in your belly ya got this fear and ya shrug it off like everything’s ok So you continue on your merry way day after day Then one day maybe five years later you here that voice again Suddenly all those emotions come rushing back But this time you say ok I’m ready to listen And the message is clear so you change the direction You start to become the inspiration People start to praise you for your actions Then one day you meet this young man whom is stuck in his pride You offer him guidance you tell him the message He looks up at you and tears fill his eyes He just kneels down sobbing from all the hurt You say it’s ok because “Love is the answer” Ron Flatow © 2007
