Put Your Heart Into It


Come on Child
 
Put your heart into it.
 
You mustn't quit now,
 
What will the others think?
 
Focus yourself
 
Invest yourself
 
Lose yourself.
 
 
Come on Teen
 
Put your brain into motion.
 
Your life is being decided,
 
Can’t you see the others doing it?
 
Extend yourself
 
Expand yourself
 
Break yourself.
 
 
Come now Adult
 
You should know this.
 
What happens when you go to deep?
 
The others have already given in.
 
Question yourself
 
Relocate yourself
 
End yourself.
