Oh! to be Awesome!


Oh! to be awesome,

the word itself

Is like a beast with many heads.

 

Awesome is the thing that catches your eye

Awesome is what makes the day go by

Awesome is the stuff that you and you alone

feel electrifies your blood and rattles your bones

 

Oh! to be awesome,

the word itself

lives in the tiniest ways

 

Awesome is the friend who gives you a lift.

Awesome is the well-planned graduation gift.

Awesome is the loved one who goes out of their way

to make sure to sneak a little awesome in your day.

 

Oh! to be awesome,

the word itself

encompasses so much.

 

Awesome is the power of a T-55 tank

Awesome is the vast array of military ranks.

Awesome is the shadow that looms overhead,

replacing the awesome with a dark sense of dread.

 

Oh! to be awesome,

the word itself

means so much to so many

 

Awesome is you doing what you love

Awesome is the feeling of rising above

Awesome is the dream you’re striving straight towards

Awesome is what you’re aiming straight for.

 

Awesome is used in and out far and wide

to be heard by your ears and seen by your eyes.

Oh! to be awesome! You’re awesome, indeed,

when you’re into leading to life that you lead.

 

You’re awesome! Quite awesome! Don’t ever forget it!

Shout it out loud and be glad that you’ve said it!

A special kind of awesome is what you boast,

the awesome you care for and appreciate the most.

 

Love what you are and love what you do

And in time others will learn to love, too.
