Remember our worlds much younger

focused on the goal and not the risks

More years go by and the less we notice

living in fear of any consequence

What is compromised?

Settling for security

"It could be worse" as life's philosophy means

that nothing will be any better

Trading ambition and our own confidence



I will not be measured by days

Bound for nothing

I will decide my own fate

Our expectations match the sky

but our reservations block the light

Here it comes again



First to the punch

they will decide limitations by which to abide

Define achievements by whose standards

No fear of living beyond the lines

A revolution against apathy

I will decide what progress means to me

These rules that bind me

I will change...ignite this spark into a flame



I will not be measured by days

Bound for nothing

I will decide my own fate

Our expectations match the sky

but our reservations block the light

These days excitement comes in turns

when apprehension lets me slide

Here it comes again....
