What if people were kind.
To be nice, you only need to pay attention
but don't overstep.
because you can leave a wake behind yourself.
Stir up trouble you didn't intend.
whether it's soon, or not,
you can't expect others to do it all.
Show your might to the world
and it will forget
just how bad things have been.
Leave it to chance
and that wake will diminish.
where you're at is never where you'll be
once you have given it your all.

Leave it to chance
and that wake will diminish.
where you're at is never where you'll be
once you have given it your all.
If you don't wake up soon, you might forget how to wake at all.
