Today is your day
You’ve set out to make a change for the better
Today is your day
Your future’s bright and it’s time to be on your way
You have a head on your shoulders and a heart in your chest
You have the capacities to pave the way and live your life
You’re on your own and you know what you know
Take what you have been taught and step out the door
You’ll be on your way up
On your way up
You’ll be on your way up, see the joys of this world
The places you'll go
The things you will see
This life is yours for the taking
Make the most of it
Out there things can happen, good or bad (make the most of it)
It’s up to you to work with the cards dealt to your hand
Wherever you go, you’ll top all the rest
Except when you don’t
Because sometimes you won’t
You won’t always win and you won’t always lose
Sometimes you’ll find yourself in a slump
Sliding down the barrel to a lonely place!
A place where people sometimes never leave
Where they just sit in the waiting place
But this place isn’t for you
You are meant to just pass through
Somehow you’ll escape and find the things you’re meant to do
You will continue your journey, passing through street after street
You’ll keep moving on up and be famous as can be
You will do amazing things
Except when you don’t
Because sometimes you won’t
Keep walking, one foot at a time
Don’t get caught in that waiting place
Keep your eyes to the sky
I know you’ll move mountains
