The world took a wrong turn it does seem.

People are so focused on money,

They forgot about the dream.

Can we take a step away?

Let's go back to the simple days,

Back when people did it for the love,

Not for how much it pays.

Too many people are settling

For less than they deserve.

They let their lives pass them by,

While they just sit back and observe.

It's false to think

Dreams are just for sleeping.

Don't lock them in your head,

Mere memories for safekeeping.

You shouldn't be in the audience,

Your place is up on stage.

This is your life, don't be the reader,

Be the writer of every page.
