So I see you're still stuck on the ground
Caught down there, all warm and safe and sound
I know what it's like to be down there
Dreaming of the sky and open air
One day soon I know you'll see
Raise your head and smile for me
Laugh about our history
Learn just what you're meant to me
You sigh and always try to play it cool
But deep inside, you still feel like a fool
The world so big, and you, you feel so small
Wondering if you should try at all
But tomorrow's not ‘til today is gone
Live the moment; don't stay long
Smile for impending dawn
Forget the troubles you think on
[solo]
Is it time to break the mold
Are you doing what you're told?
Go ahead, you can be bold
Live for living, don't be cold
When your final days have come
Smile at the miles you have fun
Come on, have a little fun
Spread your wings; your time has come
Sitting, hoping for the wings you've earned
Silent as the fires in you burned
[Live: smile as the scars within you burned]
Brush away the dust and ash
On your shoulders from the past
Smile at the things that past
Feel the beat; your dice are cast
Stroke of luck, or faith - rejoice
Now you finally have a choice
You'll prove them wrong, this much is true
Just wait another day
For me to say
I love you too
