Summary: Optimistic and very pretentious but ....so what. Was really written as a song, if you turn up your speakers I can sing a few bars




Take a jump to just make sure that you can fly
Close your eyes and let your feet drop from the wire
Spread your wings and kick the shackles from your life
Run into the space that your mind left far behind
Spend a second searching for your future dreams
And then throw them on the bonfire, live for real

Plan tomorrow just make sure you live today
Kill the sorrow; never borrow what you can’t pay
Cut out all the waste and help carry others’ loads
But just enough to bear the burden on your own
Love yourself and all who mean so much to you
And forget the rest they will do the same it’s true

Always question, don’t expect a straight reply
Live and be yourself as it takes up all your time
Live with others; do not ever hide your lies
Find true love and you can live long after you die
Don’t be selfish with your love give it for free
They don’t want it that’s okay its no big deal

Run headlong into the dark, you’ll sometimes fall
Try again your spirit keeps you on that wall
Always feel yourself spinning like a giant wheel
No beginning and no end just live for real
