So well it looks like I finally made the right decision To listen to my heart and follow my own vision
Cos for a while there I was imprisoned, in my own soul, didn’t know, just which way to go and
I fought a battle deep inside myself, it was even starting to affect my mental health,
But all I needed was a little help To get these things off my chest and help me out with the stress,
And then I realised that I was wrong, things I thought I was missing , they were there all along,
I just needed for once to let it all out, and now all I ever wanna do is shout
I am Yours, As I Am To Music, It Just Is, It Always Was
You see, life's what you make of it, not what you take from it,
Some people in this world just don’t give a shit, but listen hard to me my friends,
Cos one day all our lives will end, and when that day comes when you will never see the sun again,
Can you only say that your life was pretend? I couldn’t handle that, I don’t know how to act,
Just the pure thought makes me rise up and wanna react. The fact is, you only get one chance,
To grab a hold of your dreams and then advance, towards happiness, hang onto it,
But then again it just depends on how you measure it. Now personally, I don’t agree,
With those people who believe the key to being free involves money,
That’s not what it's about, there's more to life than that I don’t care who you are I'm telling you that that’s a fact
I am Yours, As I Am To Music, It Just Is, It Always Was
We all go down together tonight, we all go down together tonight.
