Held down by a heavy sky I followed rules and I don't know why Ignored the options that I could not see Indecision had a hold of me Followed the path that was forced by fate I never saw the hour was getting late I never cared what I turned out to be I sensed something wrong now it's up to me I got the chance now I'm gonna take it I don't know I might not even make it I'll follow rules that are made up by me I wasted time too long now it's up to me It's up to me-to be all I can be (R.W. Emerson) It's up to me Looked to the past for some history Looked for the sum of humanity A list of laws they pa**ed down through time A ruthless plot to control my mind I gotta make a plan for myself Can't look to you can't look to anybody else Only this way am I truly free I wasted time too long now it's up to me all the rules that I see have taken old inside of me. So much to lose so many kinds One thing comes to mind-time I gotta make a plan for my life I gotta take the time to get it right I gotta be the person I gotta be I gotta make a plan and now it's up to me
