Your Life

You all look at me, "This guy on stage." Telling you about how this world can be a cage. Telling you, Yeah most don't chase their dreams, And in fact dream- Most don't even do that. So I'm here to tell you, You can have everything you ever wanted if you just believe. Just dream about anything you can conceive, Just believe in yourself and that's all you need, To be the best there ever was, at whatever I mean- What's the point of living if you don't dream? To not live life to the fullest? To not be in this moment? Because this is a gift, A gift of opportunity, To seize the moment. Carpe Diem. You have a tattoo of it but do you know what it means? Then why are you sitting there listening to some guy talk to you about what life should be like, Instead of living life with the girl you like, Or being an actor, Or doing what you love. Carpe Diem, Really? When's the last time you seized the moment? When's the last time you did something different for a change? Because to me it seems like people don't have a range. Wake up, What's the point? To go to some job at some restaurant joint? Is that your dream? Then why are you doing it? People say YOLO like it's a joke, You only live once, Why are you broke? There's nothing stopping you except for your preconceived notion of it can't be, It's not in the cards for me. And I'm here to tell you... You're wrong! There is nothing stopping you from being happy except you, So turn that frown upside down and do you. No one can stop you, So stop acting like they can. Tell your parents, "I'm joining a band!". Live out your life because it's yours and no one else's. Praise The Lord and part the seas like Moses. Yesterday's history, And tomorrow's a mystery, So take this gift, The present. And transform your life, Because that's what it is... Your life!
