Are you just a footnote
Or will you rise to fill its pages
You were born to rock the ages
Start a brand new chapter in the book of life
It's comic, It's tragic
Bulding to the climax
Leaves you breathless
Like magic, the storyline unfolds
Heroes, and villains
Twists and turns that throw you off
The scent of all you thought was real
And question all you truly feel
I look into the mirror and I ask myself each day
Are you just a footnote
Or will you rise to fill its pages
You were born to rock the ages
Start a brand new chapter in the book of life
Are you a carbon copy
Or a gilded first edition
Are you a classic or pulp fiction
Just take your pen and write the book of life
Against all predictions
Everything about it
Makes it strager than fiction
Can't make up stuff like that
Illusion, confusion
You think you've got it figured out
Till life hits with its blinding force
And throws you off your chartered course
I look into my heart of hearts and I ask myself each day
Are you just a footnote
Or will you rise to fill its pages
You were born to rock the ages
Start a brand new chapter in the book of life
Are you a carbon copy
Or a gilded first edition
Are you a classic or pulp fiction
Just take your pen and write the book of life
Write the book of life
Take your chances, let those snake eyes roll
As your life advances
The more we hand the pen to faith
The kinder is the hand of fate
I'm gazing straight in to your eyes
Don't turn and look away
Are you just a footnote
Or will you rise to fill its pages
You were born to rock the ages
Start a brand new chapter in the book of life
Are you a carbon copy
Or a gilded first edition
Are you a classic or pulp fiction
Just take your pen and write the book of life
