He walks all alone.
Chin up, shining eyes, solo.
Defiance, power

Just rolling along,
spinning my wheels.

Is this all there is here,
is there any more?

I just wish I knew,
where to go,
who to see,
what to do,
to find that one thing
to keep my hopes alive.

Just rolling along,
spinning my wheels.

What else is out there,
is this all that's real?

I feel
Confidence,
excitement,
thrill...
then I must endure
Nerves,
sweat,
nausea...
finally
A rush,
a charge,
stimulation...
ecstasy*

Repeat next performance

So many things,
so little time

            Life is a beautiful ride

Take along the ones you love,
and even ones you don't.

Enjoy it,
it's short, and
sweet.
Don't fret over things,
and miss a beat.

Live every day,
don't worry about tomorrow,
always try and say

            Life is a beautiful ride

Count your blessings,
they are there,
look around you,
everywhere.

Do what makes YOU happy,
for *Life is a beautiful ride

Why is it so hard
to get
what
I
want
...

Is it something
telling me
don't do it?

A sign
from somewhere,
telling me it's
not mine
for the taking?

Should I be a man,
take a stand,
and do what I feel
is good?

Ah, hell
you only live once!
Have some fun I suppose

I think it's what
I
want,

but can you ever
be certain
that you aren't
mistaken...

*no

When life is going places,
you cannot fathom...

                     what do you do?

Do you think of others,
others who have it worse than you?

Think,
there is water coming from your sink,
some places don't have a sink,
ANYWHERE

You have access to the internet,
I know this is fact,
you probably think nothing of it,
but it gives you a place to take action...

What will people remember your name for?
for helping others?
         for being a kind person?
                  for loving the world?

Take a stand,
do something noteworthy,
lend a hand,
maybe even to someone you don't know...

People need help,
be there for them,
pray for them,
love them

Is that too much to ask??

                                                                             *no
