It’s all up to you;

            At least that’s what we say

In hopes that the future

            Is ours for today

 

The world keeps on spinning

            In layers and webs

Of honest intentions

           And thin, broken threads

 

And we try to make right;

            We try to do good

We pressure our girls,

            Put our boys in the hood

 

“It’s all up to you!

            The future is yours!

Don’t let life stop you,

            Your heart is secure”

 

“Nothing can touch it

            You have the choice

To live on emotions

            Forget all the noise”

 

“Follow your heart,

            The damage be damned,”

But nobody tells you

            About the blood on your hand

 

See, cause brings effect

            In all that we do;

When we sit and just watch

            From our room with a view

 

The future can’t be owned;

            Chaos can’t be planned

It all depends on what we do

            With the blood that’s on our hand

 

The things we see

            And hear, and think

This present moment

            Our souls on the brink

 

Of Something

 

Something hidden,

            Something real

Something so elusive

            That it needs a word appeal

 

We call it Love

            We use it for everything

Our food, our partners

            And the endless dreams it may bring

 

Is it an action?

            Is it a feeling?

Or is it a person,

            Living inside you and me?

 

“It’s all up to you,”

            At least that’s what we say

Knowing that Love is a choice

            That we all must make

                        At the end of the day
