YOLO

When does life begin?

Forty, the time keepers say,

Birth, the doctors say,

When I leave home, the teens scream,

When I become an astronaut or a princess the children dream

But life begins when you live it,

When you feel it,

Take hold,

Let your heart be told.

Stop stopping at red lights

Take chances like a chicks first flight

Scream at the top for your voice to  be heard,

In our lifeless, dreary world.

Where people have stopped living

Stopped caring

They are no longer driven they take backseat passes and stay hidden,

Princess, now a waiter

Astronaut fishing now a time gazer

Wondering where the meaning of life has gone

Far. towards infinity and beyond

Where have our passionate people died off to,

Believe in doing what they love no matter what sacrifices they go through,

Go against the crowd and be there own man,

People who care not, if others don't understand

Their goal in life is to do what they love and stay true to themselves

If it means going through hell.

'Cause in the end they have the real victory,

They were not afraid to be in their thoughts lonely

O, God where have the dreamers gone

Have they lived and passed on?

O, come back meaning of life

Teach us to be more than child husband and wife

More to life than that colour green

More than its texture hue and sheen

Teach us, teach us to dream again 

Like Santa Clause and the Tooth Fairy did.

We're buckled up, snuggled warm in the backseat

But yet, still unhappy

Because we want to be in front the wheel

Taking life head on over head heels

Unbuckle I say, get out the baby seat

Take the wheel, one hand, full speed start living life free

As once said:

Everybody dies but not everybody lives

I don't know about you but i want to be one who's breath means SOMETHING...
