Carpe Diem

Nearly four years of sailing through stormy seas

I have to be wiser now

Oh the times that we had together

Looking back I see dreamers, deserters,

And promises that weren't kept

And I know that my conscience is clean

Moving onward, hoping to go on

Though anger has fueled me

This anger won't go on long

And I'm not into excuses, complaining just bothers me

And I'm tired of the whining and spinelessness

And I've heard all of your pipe dreams, your big schemes

Just hot air from a fool

But I know that I shouldn't think that way

Should I think that way?

Remember when we, young, sat dreaming by fire's glow

We talked long through summer nights

But talk is cheap as I know

And Autumn comes and Summer dies

And promises begin to lie

And years roll and we become the things we said the things we've done

Seize the love

Seize the meaning

Seize the moment

Seize the memory

Seize the effort

Seize the truth

Seize the day

Turn around and see what's behind you

Are you happy with the world that you've made?

Look away and think of the future, is it OK?

Are you sure you've got all the answers without a doubt?

Are you feeling confident?

Is that smile that you're wearing real?
