WE LOVE THE ONES WE'RE WITH,
YET WE MISS THE ONES WE'RE WITHOUT.
WE FANTASIZE OVER WHAT WE WANT LIFE TO BE,
YET DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT REALITY.
THEY SAY IF YOU BELIEVE YOU WILL SUCCED,
BUT WHAT IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU WON'T SUCCED?
THEY SAY I AM THERE FOR YOU THROUGH THICK AND THIN,
BUT DO WE EVEN KNOW WHAT THICK OR THIN IS?
THEY SAY YOU HAVE TO FINISH WHAT YOU START,
BUT WHAT IF WHAT YOU STARTED IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN STARTED?
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST YOU CAN,
BUT WHAT IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR BEST IS YET?
WE ALL LOVE.
WE ALL CRY.
WE ALL FANTASIZE.
WE ALL DISREGARD.
WE ALL BELIEVE.
WE ALL DOUBT.
WE ALL BEGIN.
WE ALL QUIT.
WE ALL TRY.
WE ALL WONDER.B
UT MOST OF ALL, WE LIVE.
WE LIVE TO BE US.
WE LIVE TO BE OURSELVES.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE, PUT HERE TO PAINT OUR OWN UNIQUE SHADE OF COLOR INTO THE WORLD.
PUT HERE TO BE YOU.
