Carpe Diem You Said
Carpe Diem you said
And I ponder that line as I sit here in bed
Seize the day; don’t stop ‘til you’re dead
Don’t fight with your fists, but with your head.
Be the rebel they used to be
Be the inspiration you want to see
Chase your dreams, fulfill your destiny
It was meant for you, like the sand for the sea
Go after the life that you want
Turn away as they tease and taunt
Even though their words will haunt
And they tower over you and daunt.
Be free and choose your life
Fulfill the dreams you dream at night
Follow your heart, it’s always right
Never let your dreams go out of sight.
You told me to hold on
To the things that fill my heart with song
Don’t let them tell you that you’re wrong
Don’t be afraid though the road is long.
And I won’t forget these things you said
Carpe diem ‘til you’re dead
I won’t fight with my fists, but with my head
It’s the most powerful tool in your tool shed.
