Live

To the little voices in your head telling you that you can't do it. 

To the naysayers who constantly put you down. 

To the bullies who claim you would amount to nothing. 

Prove them wrong, babe! 

There will always be those who want to sow chaos in your soul, 

Those will mock and deride you, 

Those who will take every opportunity to break your spirit, 

Those too afraid to do the thing you do and would rather you tow in line. 

Prove them wrong, babe! 

Even if you end up failing, because we can't predict the future. 

Even if you end up switching gears and changing careers, 

Even if your actions would only bear fruit once you're gone, 

Prove them wrong, babe!  

We only have this life, we only know this life, and if there is something I can only wish for us, it's to do what we wanted to do so we can depart without regrets.

Because we can say: "I did it. I wanted to do it, so I did!" 

Because we can say: "I lived my life to the fullest. I rose, and I fell, but I lived!"

So prove them wrong, babe! 

Live!
