Are you disappointed? Is this world a letdown?
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 you 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 it this way.
All I have is what God gives, and that's all the life 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,
and since 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 might 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 every day 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 it this way.
All I have is what God gives, and that's all the life I was meant to live.
