There's two most tragic things in life
The greatest is not being born again;
But the second, I'll talk with you
It's about your dreams that lie within
Don't grow old, and be unfulfilled
Don't look back, and have regret;
It's better to pursue goals, and fail
Than to hide them, and then forget
Stop wasting your time being busy
Or allowing idleness in your day;
Are you too afraid to make that step
Or too comfortable in your way?
What will you do with what I've given?
Will you use your time wisely for Me?
You're the message I speak to the world
You're the light for them to see
Before you became a soul on Earth
My desires and yours, I placed in you;
What you do will give you joy
But also to Me, and others too
You were created to be a fruit bearer
Born to fulfill your assigned destiny;
Everyone's purpose is to use their gifts
That ultimately glorifies Me
You will remain unhappy
If you allow life to pass you by;
You must take action toward your dreams
All I ask is that you try
What matters most is how you finish
Not your past or how late you start;
Do what you love, and you'll be blessed
Because you've followed after your heart
