A firefighter afraid of heat, A quarterback afraid of a football, A speaker afraid to project, A musician afraid to perform, A lawyer afraid of court, A teacher afraid of chalk, An astronaut afraid of space, A hair stylist afraid of scissors, A bus driver afraid to drive, A doctor afraid of needles, A mother afraid of children, A lover afraid to love. We’re told we can be whatever we want to be, But you must see, That it is more important to do what you want than to try to overcome fears just to live up to expectations.

Do what you want
A firefighter afraid of heat, A quarterback afraid of a football, A speaker afraid to project, A musician afraid to perform, A lawyer afraid of court, A teacher afraid of chalk, An astronaut afraid of space, A hair stylist afraid of scissors, A bus driver afraid to drive, A doctor afraid of needles, A mother afraid of children, A lover afraid to love. We’re told we can be whatever we want to be, But you must see, That it is more important to do what you want than to try to overcome fears just to live up to expectations.
