So Bright (Stand Up)

(album: Last One Picked - 2002)

You're bored, gotta wonder if there's more
Waiting for the
Dreamlife you thought you had in store
Trying to feel something you can chase a life that's thrilla
Living on the edge
Smoking, drinking dream killas
Coulda been shoulda been woulda been
What might your life have been?
Today you're not a has been, but at your life's end
Will you have regrets then, have regrets then?
Are you okay with today if tomorrow is the end
Live today through the future's lens
Don't wanna wish you could rewind and play it again

[Chorus:]
Stand up, write the soundtrack for your life
It doesn't happen to you, you happen to life
Stand up, you know you're gonna have to fight
Don't wanna lose the will to find your light
Stand up, God gave you the gift of life
It doesn't happen to you, you happen to life
Stand up, do something with your light
You're a light on a hill, you're meant to shine so bright
SO BRIGHT [x7]

We're all scared, gotta wonder what's out there,
Shooting down the ones who did what we wish we dared
Everybody's scared to karaoke in the open
Afraid we're not as special as what we might be hoping
So, we're frozen, haven't chosen
Just going through the motions
Faith and belief, courage overrule emotions
Stand up and be counted for something when it's time
Decide where you stand, take your hands raise em high
Live today through the future's lens
Don't wanna wish you could reset and play it again.
