The lessons of life

I don't want to stand aside

I don't want to hide

because they say to me

but soon they will see

 

What does it take

for someone to make

the decision for variation

in the ranks of this generation

 

I don't want to be

just some other me

on the wall of names

that amount to no fame

 

I want to be the change

the result from long range

thoughts that fall down

from everything I found

 

that in life things are not that simple

and no one is gonna stand by your side

 

But if you give me your hand 

I will walk with you

and you too

 

and we can face the world together

I won't do your standing for you

 

I will help you get up 

and I will help you walk but you 

can 

learn to stand

 on your own.

 

And with me

By your side I will be

and we can walk hand in hand

just you 

and me.
