I know who I am, and who I must become.
Not an easy path, but it's the only one.
It’s time for a change.
No longer will I remain the same.
Routine has become the enemy.
Security confines us all.
It’s time to show what we’re all about.
Don’t count the days. Make the days count.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
We’re not afraid to die.
We fear what we’ll leave behind.
Most alive when I’m closest to death.
Holding on to my final breath.
We may fail, but we’re the ones who will take the leap.
They call us dreamers, but we don’t sleep.
Criticized for speaking my mind
Ridiculed for not falling in line.
You sit there and complain, but what you doing to make a change?
If you’re not part of the solution, THEN YOU’RE PART OF THE PROBLEM.
STEP UP OR STEP ASIDE.
IT’S CALLED MORAL DUTY. NOT MORAL OPTION
DON’T RUN FROM DISASTERS, TURN AND RUN TOWARDS THEM.
Come on, come on, come on, COME ON!
We’re not afraid to die.
We fear what we’ll leave behind.
Most alive when I’m closest to death.
Holding on to my final breath.
We may fail, but we’re the ones who will take the leap.
They call us dreamers, but we don’t sleep.
(Chris Parketny)
“We are the chosen ones.
We’ll light the flame for the others.
We’ll grab the torch and lead the way.
We’re not invincible, but we will not run for cover.
We’ll stand our ground and break away.”
If you’re not part of the solution, then you’re part of the problem.
It’s time to speak up, even if your voice shakes.
We’re not afraid to die.
We fear what we’ll leave behind.
Most alive when I’m closest to death.
Holding on to my final breath.
We may fail, but we’re the ones who will take the leap.
They call us dreamers, but we don’t sleep.
