With this dream in your heart but no place to call your home
No doors have simply opened up
to you for you to choose which one to step through
But now there's pressing time and pressure
From every side wearing at your peace of mind
Should this not have been an easy choice

Follow your dreams they told you but dont fall out of line
Out of step with the pace you were meant to run
And dont forget with everyday you wake
they will watch your back
They'll watch your every move its overwhelming
the expectation to fit in
But you cant forget with everyday you waste it eats away

You had no intention of being a greedy man
With a young mind you'll upset a world gone mad
with a lust for success and the burden of perfection
If you can remember your hunger for truth take heart
Speak from your heart let your actions show who you are
Dont let this frigid life starve out the artist in you
Take heart. this dream within will carry you through

Defend your passion remember your youth
Take heart. there's no one who will take it for you
Defend your passion remember your youth
Wake now face the day finding your strength
Let the light permeate the grey
Defend what you love remember your passionate days
