about

Featuring May Tay Tay. The song is about how so many people fall into the trap of waiting for something to happen, when what they should be doing is being the thing that happens.

lyrics

How long until we realize
That there’s more to life than these blue skies,
The best things that could have come into our lives
Could be the thing’s that we missed ‘cause we never tried.

People don’t seem to see
That there’s more to freedom than just being freed,
And when it comes to courage | you might have to lead.
But sometimes, you’re just on your knees

Waiting for something to happen,
but you don’t know the questions to ask Him,
Maybe tomorrow you’ll be happy,
But today you don’t feel ready.

If there’s more to life, why say no?
If you have a chance, why let it go?
There’s so much to do and so much to show,
You won’t have time if you take it slow.

You’re waiting for something to happen,
but you don’t know the questions to ask Him,
Maybe tomorrow you’ll be happy,
But today you don’t feel ready.

Waiting for something to happen,
but you don’t want to risk being tripped again,
Maybe tomorrow you’ll be happy,
But today you don’t feel ready

I don’t know why people don’t care
That they could do so much, if only they dared
And I don’t know why we’re all scared
To live the life that’s there

I don’t know why you’re standing there,
You could do so much, if only you dared
And I don’t know why we’re not prepared
To live the life that’s there

I like guitars a lot. I also like writing songs. Those two things go together well, I think.
