Embrace the red

You were born to be freaking awesome! Don't let others keep you down. Choose freedom. Choose authenticity. Choose bravery.

Red is bold. Embrace the red.

Embrace the red

Embrace the red
Even if it's molten lava
The fieriest fire 
The blessed aria

Explosive passion 
Never tame the beast 
Crimson flags
From West to East

A lot can happen 
Between you and me
A lot can be accomplished 
By human beings 

So stake your claim 
Your boundary lanes 
Know your worth
Dreams not shame 

Embrace the glory
Embrace the glow 
Embrace the scarlet
Embrace all you know

Explosive genius
Never frame the scene 
Love and lessons
Every fantasy

Nothing ventured 
Nothing gained 
Be the red instead 
From match to flame
