lyrics

There are things that are possible!
And goals that are achievable!
Plateaus that you’ll find reachable!
But not always what you think.

Desires you’ll see obtainable!
Maybe not quite so logical!
Outcomes can be acceptable!
If you’re open to what can be.

Remember all those plans you made when younger?
You’d have books acclaimed and read and published internationally.
So proud of your degrees.
Like so many whom you esteem.

Well the grad school boards had other plans.
And you let your words lie in dust closets.
Till you’d start writing other kinds of things.
Tapped a deep side tied to childhood dreams.
Found friends forged those words into sounds.
Now you’re in bands playing town to town town.

Please do not misunderstand me!
My thesis is not destiny!
While you can’t control everything!
You are the ruler of your life.

Earthquakes can topple all buildings!
Just like your goals are fragile things!
Stay open to all possibilities!
The best could be a surprise.

Remember how you saw your future back then.
You’d move to tropical paradise and stroll upon the beach.
Your hands would hold the hands.
Of the girl of your sweet dreams.

Well you cried through scenes of sad heart breaks.
And no town you tried quite suited needs.
Till you saw your home in all sand no beach.
Among the cactus flowers and red rock scenes.
You made best friends you could hope to find.
In a world so strange you could say “this is mine.”

There are things that are possible!
And goals that are achievable!
Plateaus that you’ll find reachable!
Now here’s how I will conclude.

Those things seemed unobtainable!
The story’s not quite so over!
Look at all that you’ve done so far!
No reason to bury dreams.

If you believe in yourself than…
Yeah! You! Yeah! You! Yeah! You!
Will succeed and be happy.
