What if he gave you all of your days?
Would you savor them or throw them away?
Sit in a corner watch the skies turn grey...

Prosaic pondering wondering knave
scanning the skylines for a clear day
Forever plotting to make your escape

You can be who you want to be,
It’s your life so live your dreams
Don’t be afraid to try

Burdened by chains of your own design
Pretending you need to bide your time
when the key is inside your mind

Hidden away a terrible shame
Postponing your dreams for another day
What makes one decide to change?

Could it be love shining through

When you can be who you want to be,
It’s your life so you live your dreams
And nothing makes you afraid to try

Running to catch the blue sky
Leaving behind
All the traces and all the ways of the inferior days,
All the things that kept you down

Did it ever occur to you
That you might only get one chance
And that chance is called
your life

You can be who you want to be,
It’s your life so live your dreams
Don’t be afraid to try
