Look at what's right in front of you.
Maybe it's a tv, a computer, a poem.
Is it an intimidating sight for you?
Does it make you shudder in fear?

Look at what's right behind you.
It might have been a nap, a meal.
Have you been worried to tears by it?
Does it bring you back to a terrible time?

Look at what is ahead of you.
Beyond the horizons of today or tomorrow.
Look towards an unsure future, one where
You might not grow up to be an astronaut,
Or a doctor,
Or a lawyer,
Or a mother like you planned as a kid.

You might never meet your Prince
And you might have to let him go.
You might have to let your dream go
Because of what you thought was right.

Does that scare you?
