about

A song about staying the course - following your dreams - not wasting time - and not letting anyone or anything dissuade you.

lyrics

Something's wrong here. I can see it in your eyes.
Discontent, disbelief, disenchantment - I can see through that disguise.
So, if you change your mind. Well, that's okay.
It's never too late to try a different way.

Dissonant decision. Disconcern yourself with what other people think.
And in the quiet of the night listen to that voice
that speaks to you so gently always giving you a choice.
And in the quiet of the night be honest with yourself.
We haven't got much time here.
Pick your dreams up off that dusty shelf.
oh.... oh...

So what are you gonna do? It's up to you.
The sky's the limit.
Don't let it fall on top of you.

Some people may laugh.
They sometimes do.
Their down discontent . They're own disappointments make it impossible for them to support you.
Forgive your parents too.
And know that they love you.
They're just afraid that they may lose you to a dissonant decision. Disconcern yourself with what other people think.

And in the quiet of the night listen to that voice
that speaks to you so gently always giving you a choice.
And in the quiet of the night be honest with yourself.
We haven't got much time here.
Pick your dreams up off that dusty shelf.

No, we haven't got much time here. Pick your dreams off that dusty shelf.

So, what are you gonna do? It's up to you.
The sky's the limit.
Don't let it fall on top of you.
