I want to change things.
I want to make today
Better than yesterday,
And tomorrow
Better than today.
I want to touch people’s lives
And give them a hope
In the knowing
That this doesn’t have to be all there is,
That their dreams aren’t out of their reach
That everything they’ve ever wanted
Is just over the horizon,
If only they’ll pull their heads up out of the sand
And chase after it.

But I can’t do it in this cookie-cutter plan
For what my future is supposed to hold.
I don’t want a business degree,
A corner office,
2.5 kids,
And a golden retriever.

I want to take this crazy passion
That everyone but me thinks is just a waste of time
And run with it.
I don’t know where it’ll take me
And I don’t care…
I just have to go.
