Carpe Diem

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've thrown away all of my outside distractions.

I'm diving headfirst to chase a dream that I won't let go.

It's worthless - a waste of time.

This goal is out of reach. You better fall back in line.

This is what I need. You are what I need.

I need motivation to prove you wrong,

and I will prove you wrong.

What makes you think that you are different?

How can you chase these dreams? They've become a chore.

I know I'm close. I'm almost there.

Just a little more, and I will prevail through what you call "ignorance". I will prevail.

Now I've chased this dream to do what I love, and I wouldn't trade it for a thing.

Now I've chased this dream and I made it out alive. I wouldn't trade it for a thing.

I threw away what naysayers say, and started on a race that I had to win for myself.

And you proved me wrong, you proved me wrong.

All I've learned is teaching me more. All I know is driving me on.

All I've learned is teaching me more. All I know is driving me on.
