Carpe Diem

Location

Open your wings and fly away
 
The sky is clear, the time is right
 
Make it your goal to seize the day.
 
 
 
You look at your world and all you see is grey
 
But the sky is blue at the highest height
 
Open your wings and fly away.
 
 
 
The world will tell you it’s better to stay
 
Pay no heed to them and keep your dreams in sight
 
Make it your goal to seize the day.
 
 
 
Follow your heart and you will never go astray
 
Look to the sun, bask in its light
 
Open your wings and fly away.
 
 
 
Forget your troubles, do not delay
 
The path is before you, the future is bright
 
Make it your goal to seize the day.
 
 
 
Go forth in brilliance and come what may
 
Soar through the air, lose yourself in flight
 
Make it your goal to seize the day,
 
Open your wings and fly away.
