I woke up to a dream passing by.
|
It was the middle of the night.
|
Was I awake? Was I asleep?
|
What was I doing outside?
|
|
I saw a man walk from the trees
|
He came and sat next to me
|
He said, "Boy, if you don't follow your dreams,
|
You'll be dead someday. Just like me."
|
Then he got up and walked away
|
And I started to think.
|
He turned around, I saw his face
|
And I looked deep in his eyes,
|
And I realized that man was me.
|
|
You're not for this world,
|
This world is for you
|
And now is the time.
|
(There's no tomorrow!)
|
So make the most of every day
|
While you're alive
|
(Stand for something!)
|
|
I contemplate my every day
|
And everything I've been afraid to change.
|
Never good enough, (promptly too late?),
|
Always excuses away.
|
I used to think if I never tried,
|
I would never fail.
|
Now I realize, I can do anything.
|
|
You're not for this world,
|
This world is for you
|
And now is the time.
|
(There's no tomorrow!)
|
So make the most of every day
|
While you're alive
|
(Stand for something!)
|
|
Too little too late
|
And then you die
|
And no one even knows your name.
|
Don't let your light fight from your heart
|
Your heart gives you the best advice.
|
|
Believe!
|
Believe!
|
|
You're not for this world,
|
This world is for you
|
And now is the time.
|
(There's no tomorrow!)
|
So make the most of every day
|
While you're alive
|
(Stand for something!)
|
|
For what you believe.
|
For what you believe.
