Don’t live up to anyone’s expectation

Don’t play by someone else’s rules

Be yourself and follow your heart

So what, let them call you “a punk”

Don’t grow up, always be a child

Be happy with who you are inside

Do not try to follow the crowds

It does not matter if they laugh

In the end this is who you are

In the end a few will be by your side

And the rest will not understand

And try to change you but don’t let them

This is what I used to tell myself

And then I became an adult

The reality of money and career

Blinded me and I forgot all of that

The most unexpected events

Sometimes hit you like a hammer on the head

And you wake to the truth

You wake up from a long boring dream

And the life is back on track

You live and smile and laugh

Yet you get the serious things done

Use your education and brains

And somehow it is enough
