lyrics

Don’t give up.
Don’t let it be.
Be who you are supposed to be.
Know yourself well.
It is a gift he gave, but then...

Die to self.
Its not your own.
We are borrowed what we know.
With what we have much will be accounted for.

I have a had a problem since I was 15 years of age.
Never giving up on things that I dream about, including this stage.
You can’t herd a black sheep. I run better with the wolves.
Setting a flame to both ends is what I do, I do the very best.
You see? You cant stop me.

I think I’m ready to jump,
I know I’m ready to move.
Take it slow, also known
As having a stand still.

I think I’m ready to feel,
I know I’m ready to try
Or at least buckle up.
Do something about it!

Just breathe the possibilities in.
Take on aspirations once again.

I am sick of
Hearing that I
Need to cut something out.
When did growing up…
Mean giving up?

Whatever happened to following your dreams?

Well…
When you get old.
They’ll expect more outta you
They want you safe, so safe.

Well…it’s not their life.
It’s not their life to live for you.
Well…it’s not their life.
Well, Well.

You can't stop me...

I think I’m ready to jump,
I know I’m ready to move.
Take it slow, also known
As having a stand still.

I think I’m ready to feel,
I know I’m ready to try
Or at least buckle up.
Do something about it!

Just breathe the possibilities in.
Take on aspirations once again.

I am sick of
Hearing that I
Need to cut something out.
When did growing up…
Mean giving up?

Climbing a mountain is tiring.
Unless you have caught a peak before.
The view from up here is moving,
but I get it.

You’re comfortable.
You’re comfortable on the ground.

Its time to go.
Let’s have a win.
Let’s make it happen.
