Time to Leave
Lyricist:Carl Robert Pendleton, John Reuben Zappin
Taught young, the world's wisdom I was told life's a game, the earth will be your stadium Be alert, pay attention One day even your friends will become the competition
Trust no one but do remember this Never burn any potential bridges Know who's who an' what they can do for you And don't feel bad 'cause in the end They're gonna do it to you too
Remember, life's not fair In order to maintain You're gonna have to let your sensitivity be trained A machine more than a human being What you say doesn't always have to be what you mean
Tell them what they wanna hear if it's to your benefit An' words beyond closed doors are insignificant Push yourself, never be satisfied Even if you don't get it At least you died knowin' you tried
Born, live, strive, succeed Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave Born, live, strive, succeed Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave
Gain it all, now it's time to leave Gain it all, now it's time to leave Now, all we see is now Gain it all, now it's time
Taught young, the world's wisdom Begin to pay attention an' make my own observations All of these kids work hard for admiration Doin' their best not to meet their social expiration
Kind of hard in a world this finicky Easily praised an' yet destroyed just as quickly I guess, me an' the planet must not be compatible 'Cause I don't want its approval to feel valuable
So who's next to climb the wall of success? Just to see how good the top truly gets Chasin' lies disguised as goin' somewhere Only to arrive an' realize it's really no where Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
That's even if you get there in the first place What an incredible let down we're bound to face When we substitute purpose for cheap counterfeit Too busy tryin' to succeed In life that we forget to live it
Born, live, strive, succeed Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave Born, live, strive, succeed Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave
Gain it all, now it's time to leave Gain it all, now it's time to leave But now, all we see is now Gain it all an' now it's time
You can live in the infinite or give in to the immediate Gain it all but one day, you'll have to leave it This world is temporary an' its heart is selfish Think to yourself, ‽Is this what wealth is?â€
But now, all we see is now An' now is not a bad thing But now does bring tomorrow then? Now becomes then Moments escape, new ones replace them
Don't want to face the end still searchin' Askin', ‽What in this world did I ever find worth in?†What could be worse than a life of wasted years? Nothin' lastin', nothin' true, nothin' dear
I fear losin' beauty in pursuit of bigger things I fear a broken home courtesy of the American dream Maybe that's just me with my emotions on my sleeve But one way or another, we all wear what we believe
Born, live, strive, succeed Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave Born, live, strive, succeed Gain it all, bye, now it's time to leave
Gain it all, now it's time to leave Gain it all, now it's time to leave Born, live, strive, succeed But now we're wastin' now
