Lyrics
Don't put off till tomorrow your dreams of yesterday. Next week is never promised, don't let it slip away. Live a life of wonder with each breath, and every single day.
When life hands you struggles and you can't find your way look back on all you've done, take it day by day. Don't get bogged down by stress, do your best, keep moving on.
Do you dream of traveling the world, do you dream of toiling in the dirt, do you dream of making things with your hands? Do you dream of learning to bake, do you dream of a home down by the lake, do you dream of going back for that degree? Yeah that sounds good to me.
As time rolls on it's harder to recall all those dreams now lost in the fog of that 9 to 5 daily grind that is our all.
Did you dream of traveling the world, did you dream of toiling in the dirt, did you dream of making things with your hands? Did you dream of learning to bake, did you dream of a home down by the lake, did you dream of going back for that degree? Yeah, that still sounds good to me.
Time, so easy to take for granted, it's the most precious thing we'll ever have. When we wake up in the morning think will it be wasted, or will we invest?
Do you dream of traveling the world, do you dream of toiling in the dirt, do you dream of making things with your hands? Do you dream of learning to bake, do you dream of a home down by the lake, do you dream of going back for that degree? Yeah, that all sounds good to me.
