"There's no indication of
What we were meant to be"


You could be anything
And so could I
Whatever you want, really

But some people tell you otherwise
That you have to be this or that
Study this area or go into this field
Don't do this and certainly don't do that
You'll never make enough money doing that
You won't be happy if you do this

But you have to block it all out
None of it matters

See
You were born with a clean slate
A blank canvas
You can be whatever you want

Do whatever your little heart desires
Go toward what interests you
What intrigues you
And what you find feasible with your little hands
And the amazing brain you were born with

Bra cause its not what others want
But what you want, my dear

If you go after what you want
That's when you will be happy

Don't live our life according to others
And what they think you should do
But what pleases you
And then
And only then
Will you be truly happy
