I’m ready for revolution there won't be no midnight Revere but let me tell you, it’s coming cause I’ve had just about too many nights dreaming dreams that ain’t mine I go to bed in hollow bird-bone shackles dreaming the world is telling me to fly but only South, cause that’s where I’ll be successful ...I know success is really flying North and coming out alive so when I wake I get a book for a pillow and a pencil paper night stand cause I’ve just been thinking its my time to take a stand so here I stand fluttering limbs and a nervous system that’s **** nervous but I’m here for it’s time that I tell my story it’s time that I know who I am I am done sleepwalking in the dreams of others - unconscious of my own conscience this is my manifesto
to reclaim my crumpled dreams from a forgotten pocket, to spread them out before me and point where I’m going to go
this is my manifesto to forget about the past, and the future to dance to good music to tell a girl when she’s beautiful and to have the courage to cry
this is my manifesto to speak loud run fast to love hard and to let go
for that is all I must do let go of the placating promises that keep my dreams anchored in tomorrow push off from the shore and let the very current that courses through my veins carry me out to sea for there is an ocean.. waiting for me
an entire world in which I get to sail in whatever direction I please so please, come with me push off from the shore with your own manifesto at the helm and we won’t sail together, but when we pass, I’ll wave. and you’ll wave too. for we both know that the ocean is ours, and we’re just dreaming after all
