History is Done-So Paint Tomorrow


Desensitized to failure ignorant of the phrase "give up" stubborn as hell as driven as flame on a dry, windy day to speak is to listen to cry is to feel to yell is to echo to dance is to try to listen is to know that what has been is what has been it can't be changed it won't be changed history may be a mystery but what has happened won't change despite the perspective so get up get going change what you can accept what you can't history may be a mystery but tomorrow, the future can be a canvas you own a canvas to paint but you have to stand up you have to grab hold and pick up the paint brush first
