Nearly four years of sailing through stormy seas I have to be wiser now Oh the times that we had together Looking back I see dreamers, deserters, And promises that weren't kept And I know that my conscience is clean Moving onward, hoping to go on Though anger has fueled me This anger won't go on long And I'm not into excuses, complaining just bothers me And I'm tired of the whining and spinelessness And I've heard all of your pipe dreams, your big schemes Just hot air from a fool But I know that I shouldn't think that way Should I think that way? Remember when we, young, sat dreaming by fire's glow We talked long through summer nights But talk is cheap as I know And Autumn comes and Summer dies And promises begin to lie And years roll and we become the things we said the things we've done Seize the love Seize the meaning Seize the moment Seize the memory Seize the effort Seize the truth Seize the day Turn around and see what's behind you Are you happy with the world that you've made? Look away and think of the future, is it OK? Are you sure you've got all the answers without a doubt? Are you feeling confident? Is that smile that you're wearing real?
