Are you disappointed?
Is this world a let down?
With your head in the clouds
It’s time to get down
Head on collision, crushed by dreams
So we leave our hearts at the accident scene
Shattered, pieces scattered
Who told us it was okay to allow our thoughts to be flattered?
And entertained with ideas that can’t sustain
A future once so confidently proclaimed
So where do you go from here when it all disappears?
Apathy dries your tears until you don’t care
Or you live and die, occupied with disclaimers
And reasons as to why
Realize, life isn’t lived in fantasies
No matter how much planning or strategy
Joy comes along with tragedy
I own them all gladly
I’m alright, I’m okay
I kinda like doing things this way
All I have is what God gives
And that’s all the life that I was meant to live
I’m alright, I’m okay
I kinda like doing things this way
All I have is what God gives
And that’s all the life that I was meant to live
We’re not taught trial and error
We’re not taught, nor are we prepared
So we fail against everyday opponents
All the while we’re still living for glorious moments
And the media feeds the youth a false reality
Of what it takes to make yourself happy
It says they got about a one in a billion shot
Why try and make them think it’s something that it’s not
This ain’t a movie this is real life
The spotlight don’t shine quite as bright as some would like
But that’s alright cuz the starlight at night
Is more of a highlight than the highlife
The air I consume from the breath of creation
Renews my soul everyday I awaken
Ah man, tell me who knew
That simply being content was the dream come true
I’m alright, I’m okay
I kinda like doing things this way
All I have is what God gives
And that’s all the life that I was meant to live
I’m alright, I’m okay
I kinda like doing things this way
All I have is what God gives
And that’s all the life that I was meant to live
