| Dream and Discover some people might say that it's ok to think about what u want to be but only until u have to do what u were meant to me i say that is all crap i say go for your dreams no matter the size of them what do we have if we don't have dreams? i say we don't have much dreams are what this country is built on dreams are what make the world go round dreams are what make ordinary people heroes even if it's only for a little while u only get to live this life once so u might as well try to fulfill your dreams i don't know bout u but i don't want to ask myself what if what if i would've followed my dreams where would my life have gone what if i would have went for it all how would it have all unfolded i'll admit though, i lost sight of my dreams but now they seem to be the only thing keeping me going i realize they may not all come true but i have to know if they can i have to know what i can be dreams aren't aspects of weak willed individuals they are the beginnings of greatness u just have to have the strength to follow your dreams so dream big and dream often and don't forget follow your dreams cause u never know when one of them might come true |
| I Will Get There they tell me i'll never make it that i'm better off to just stay at home and sit they tell me i don't have what it takes or that i'm crazy for goodness sakes they think i'm a fool for still believing and for gettin up and leaving they say i'm too weak and that my dreams aren't for the meak they say it'll never come true and that those things i can never do they say cause i'm from a small town that all i'll do is let people down they tell me i'm just gonna end up where i began and that i'd be here forever no matter how hard i ran they said the odds were a billion to one and that i'd never get it done but ya know what i say i'ma give it a try anyways nothing can be said to turn me back cause now i'm on the right track so just look me up in a few years and u'll find that i've conquered all my fears i may not make it but there r no sure things but i'ma give it my all and spread my wings now not everyone says i can't make it there r some who believe in me more than a bit i'll never forget bout those who r doubters for i'ma turn them into pouters but more so i'll never forget those who always believed in me those who said that i can do and be they r the ones i will always cherish and i hope they will never perish i can't thank them enough for keeping their faith for i know that they will always bet on me comin in safe so u can decide which side to take but just remember that in a year when u awake |
| New World, New Beginning Each day I awake and see the world One that I don't recognize anymore It's a strange and different land And I'm not sure how to open the door I don't know what's going to happen Or how I'll come out when it's done But I gotta know how it will be I must find out if I have won Things are different than they used to be Nothing's like it was I can't help but think why all the changes And why is it all in a fuzz But I continue on no matter what I battle my demons to the end My ghosts will be dealt with And I will not bend This time I write my own rules And I follow my own heart I do things my way And I'll never again fall apart I won't stop 'til my task is complete I'll battle on 'til I die I won't give up for anything And I'll never again question why I will follow my hopes and my dreams I will be guided by my soul I won't deny it this time around For if I listen to it, it will make me whole This is my shot, my one chance This is my opportunity to succeed I won't pass it up for anything I will now grow from my tiny seed No matter what happens I will not regret I will be at peace with what I have done I won't think about what might've been For I will know that I have truly won |
| Slipping Away the hours pass and so do the days our lives are continuing on and somehow it seems everyone is slipping away and i can't keep a grasp on them we all choose different roads to take and we all have our lives to live but everything that was feels somewhat fake and i can't help but wonder y that is everyone who's shaped my life seems to be gone it's like i don't know them anymore but even so it feels so wrong and i hate that we have to go i wish we could be as close as we have been i don't want to lose anyone but it's like this is now and that was then and we are all marching on the people i knew and grew up with are almost like total strangers to me it all seems like some old myth lord knows i don't want it this way comfort is what i used to feel in their presence now i feel funny inside i feel out of place and no comfort since that graduation day in may everyone seems to have their lives and all and i'm happy for each and everyone but i can't help but wish we could still call on each other to just hang out again sometime i never thought this would happen with me i could never picture this i never figured this is how it would be it feels like my life has an absence i don't know what else to say or do nor what else to feel so i guess this one is finally through and i should wipe away my tears |
