I will not stop swimming in a sea because I'm afraid of sharks. I will not stop dancing because I'm afraid of tripping. I am not going to stop smiling for fear that you won't smile back. For that same reason, yes the very same - I won't be quiet for fear of not being heard. I won't stop being me for fear you may judge me. We're all going to the same place - down in the ground. Most of our lives will be summed up in a dash between two dates on a slab of stone. I'm going to live, and I will be heard because I'm not afraid live - truly live. Live life to its fullest, you only have one. Don't let others talk you into silence. Don't go in your grave before you get a chance to live.

No Fear, Live Life
I will not stop swimming in a sea because I'm afraid of sharks. I will not stop dancing because I'm afraid of tripping. I am not going to stop smiling for fear that you won't smile back. For that same reason, yes the very same - I won't be quiet for fear of not being heard. I won't stop being me for fear you may judge me. We're all going to the same place - down in the ground. Most of our lives will be summed up in a dash between two dates on a slab of stone. I'm going to live, and I will be heard because I'm not afraid live - truly live. Live life to its fullest, you only have one. Don't let others talk you into silence. Don't go in your grave before you get a chance to live.
