When I was a child
I can remember being excited
When I could finally color
Inside of the lines
It was such an achievement to be able to do
What the adults had deemed
The way it was done
Color inside the lines
Think inside the box
Follow the rules
Do as you're told
But those are just surefire ways
To keep you from writing your own story
To live you must let creativity take hold
To untie your tethers
To guide your hand outside the lines
To show you how to think outside of the box
To remind you, it's not always about doing as you're told
To write your own story
You sometimes must color outside of the lines
Don't be afraid to have an original thought or dream
