Story Behind The Song

During my entire life, I've learned one thing that has helped me grow more than anything else. It is that if you have a dream, you have to make it happen for yourself, or else it will never happen. The words are not the only thing that convey this message, the fact that I played every instrument, sang on the track, and recorded/mastered it on my own can say the same thing. The song started taking shape when I started writing about how I lead my life, and how I wish to inspire others throughout my everyday life. Then I was starting to hear music with these words, and it became the song. I wrote and recorded this song with all the instruments in 7 days.

Song Description

This song is about being proactive and making your dreams happen for yourself. Not waiting for the phone to ring to have something going in your life.

Lyrics

If you don't make your dreams happen for yourself
then you will find your life has slipped away
I hope you can wake up to reality
and live your fantasies

Some people wait for that one day,
that one chance to finish what they started
Some people think the world will change
from sitting there and counting their own pocket change

You fell into my life
You opened my eyes
and chills ran down my spine
You showed me the way
To hope for a better day
Here it is, today's a better day

I say what's the point of dreaming
if you forget it when you wake up
it's like searching for all the answers
but being afraid to look it up
I say what's the point of living
if there's nothing worth to live for
that's when you dream again,
to see what you believe in

Some people wait for that one day,
that one chance to finish what they started
Some people think the world will change
from sitting there and counting their own pocket change

You fell into my life
You opened my eyes
and chills ran down my spine
You showed me the way
To hope for a better day
Here it is, today's a better day
