DON'T WAIT FOR FATE

Go for it

You wait for years till your ship comes in
But you'll wait for ever more
Try digging deep inside your soul
And paddle out from shore

Don't sit around with your thoughts of hope
Cause' hope won't heed your call
Just do the things you need to do
Or accept it when you fall

Don't blame others for your sorry state
Cause' you brought this on yourself
Those lazy days and carefree nights
When you left hope on the shelf

Get on your feet, you know the drill
For Gods sake, tow the line
Cause' there's one thing you don't have much off
And that precious thing, is time

So plant your golden seeds of hope
This is not a time for show
And someday your dreams, they may come true
Cause' we reap just what we sow

Reach out for things you cannot reach
And be proud that at least you did try
Then you may feel good inside your heart
Cause' you did not live the lie

And if things they don't work out for you
Well, you've learned along the way
That its not how much we take in life
But how much we give away
