lyrics

Nothing exists in a vacuum
nothing gained without cost
no singular moment defines who we are
we are all greater sums of our parts

but the choices we face
and decisions we make
are all steps along the way
but it's never too late
to redirect fate
and there's no better day
than today

Stop waiting on a seminal moment
when it may never come
stop judging your life's full potential
on what you've already done
the dreams that you once dared to dream
as a child can still come true
I've got it in me
and you've got in you
you just have to follow through

Nothing that we do will last forever
nothing in this world is set in stone
spend too much time thinking about days gone by
you might miss what good the future holds

It's a balancing act
between future and past
with the present held somewhere in between
but each day brings something new
and no one can decide but you
just what that statement means

So stop waiting on a seminal moment
when it may never come
stop judging your life's full potential
on what you've already done
the dreams that you once dared to dream
as a child can still come true
I've got it in me
and you've got in you
you just have to follow through

Surround yourself with people who
want nothing but the best for you
does fear of failure hold you back
or is it passion that you lack
remember how you used to be
don't let your dreams be memories
just think of all you could achieve

And I just want to see you smile
genuine, not in denial
I just want what's best for you
you are my friend
you are my love
you are the stranger on the bus
you are the retail employee
you're all I never want to be
and I don't want that life for you
there's so much more that you can do
don't tell yourself that this is it
don't let your life slip away

and I just want to see you smile
genuine, not in denial
I just want what's best for you
