Follow Me

If what you seek is mediocrity Then you'd better not follow me Though I fight and sometimes struggle These are only minor hurdles I will jump them one by one Until my dreams and goals are won I will not settle, will not stop Learn from all I've gained and lost I will rise, I will succeed Be prepared for this if you follow me If it's true we each have 15 minutes of fame Then I choose to relive mine, again and again They may not know me, but they'll know my name And when I'm gone, that part of me remains It's not the reason that I write Not the reason I share what I have inside But I must admit, when the day is done If my words have touched someone Then I've fulfilled my purpose, my job complete And I'll share it all with you, if you'll follow me Don't follow me if you want just to survive Because each day I strive to be more alive I want more than to just exist To live in love and peace my fondest wish I am glory and honor bound While my feet are firmly on the ground I can walk, but I choose to run Toward that moment in the sun It's not the end, but the beginning I seek And you can find it too, if you follow me
