Not for this world

I woke up to a dream passing by.
It was the middle of the night.
Was I awake? Was I asleep?
What was I doing outside?
I saw a man walk from the trees
He came and sat next to me
He said, "Boy, if you don´t follow your dreams,
You´ll be dead someday. Just like me."
Then he got up and walked away
And I started to think.
He turned around, I saw his face
And I looked deep in his eyes,
And I realized that man was me.
You´re not for this world,
This world is for you
And now is the time.
(There´s no tomorrow!)
So make the most of every day
While you´re alive
(Stand for something!)
I contemplate my every day
And everything I´ve been afraid to change.
Never good enough, (promptly too late?),
Always excuses away.
I used to think if I never tried,
I would never fail.
Now I realize, I can do anything.
You´re not for this world,
This world is for you
And now is the time.
(There´s no tomorrow!)
So make the most of every day
While you´re alive
(Stand for something!)
Too little too late
And then you die
And no one even knows your name.
Don´t let your light fight from your heart
Your heart gives you the best advice.
Believe!
Believe!
You´re not for this world,
This world is for you
And now is the time.
(There´s no tomorrow!)
So make the most of every day
While you´re alive
(Stand for something!)
For what you believe.
For what you believe.
It was the middle of the night.
Was I awake? Was I asleep?
What was I doing outside?
I saw a man walk from the trees
He came and sat next to me
He said, "Boy, if you don´t follow your dreams,
You´ll be dead someday. Just like me."
Then he got up and walked away
And I started to think.
He turned around, I saw his face
And I looked deep in his eyes,
And I realized that man was me.
You´re not for this world,
This world is for you
And now is the time.
(There´s no tomorrow!)
So make the most of every day
While you´re alive
(Stand for something!)
I contemplate my every day
And everything I´ve been afraid to change.
Never good enough, (promptly too late?),
Always excuses away.
I used to think if I never tried,
I would never fail.
Now I realize, I can do anything.
You´re not for this world,
This world is for you
And now is the time.
(There´s no tomorrow!)
So make the most of every day
While you´re alive
(Stand for something!)
Too little too late
And then you die
And no one even knows your name.
Don´t let your light fight from your heart
Your heart gives you the best advice.
Believe!
Believe!
You´re not for this world,
This world is for you
And now is the time.
(There´s no tomorrow!)
So make the most of every day
While you´re alive
(Stand for something!)
For what you believe.
For what you believe.
