You can sit and think for ages
As to what you're gonna do
But you'd better be ready
When the world is staring at you
Cuz you only got
So much time to live
And the length of your life
Well it's only relative

To the actions you make
In the time that you're allowed
Will you be the one they follow
Or a face in the crowd
Will your picture ever hang
In the hall of fame
Will the mountains ever crumble
When they call out your name?

You'd better get up and get out
And live my friend
This is a one time deal
No you can't try again
Don't let being scared to try
Go to your head
Cuz they'll be plenty of time to regret
The words you never said

Think of those who are important
In todays society
What makes them so much different
From say, you or me
Well they went and they opened
Up their mouths
And they didn't let their dreams
Of fame go south

Will you have your own statue
Carved in stone
Or will you be left sitting in your room
All alone
Will you have a home video
Or a documentary
Will you slip by unnoticed
Or leave a legacy?

So get up
Don't let life pass you by
Get up
You won't know what it's like until you try
Get up
Go and make a difference
Get up
Show the world your brilliance
