Sun rise
Sun set
Again you lie
down on your bed.

Another day
A different date
Living the same way
At the same rate.

Take the time
To dream and imagine.
Think "This life is mine"
And go after it with a passion.

Time to live your life, not a lie.
Meet the part of you, you think you've met.
Sun rise
Sun set.
