Once upon a time
There lived a boy
Who wanted to follow his dream
He toiled day 'n night
He worked but he didn't tire
He moved towards what only he could see

The world around him kept changin'
He was never in the same place
He just wanted to fit in
Always left behind in the race

And then he saw he needed to work so much more
He could but didn't wanna go on
His dream was left to the nights
Could've got back on his feet
Didn't wanna do it, honestly
He just did what he thunk was right

This is not Paradise
This is the story of my life

So he kept moving on his 'right' track
The track that went the wrong way
They tried to turn him around
Push him towards the long days

Soetimes, he saw his dream
Floating away from him
He thought he'd let it go
Long ago, but no, it wasn't so

And on the way, he fell in love
Maybe he'd imagined it all
Maybe, it wasn't right
He'd remember to tell her sometime

This is not Paradise
This is the story of my life

His dream's still there, so is she
He hasn't got them with him
Facing reality
Hasn't got a choice that'd help

He's moving and he's moving and he's moving along
Hoping life'd help, he's just sings his songs
His dream's still very much in grasp
He'll keep behind her till he lasts

And he'll tell people how he kept to his lines
How he nearly gave up and remembered each time
How he thought that you could let go
But no...

So everybody this is a lesson in life
You see a dream, you treat it right
You reach for anything you set your heart on

Maybe you'll fall back sometimes
Catch up and you can still lead the file
Just don't forget to remember

Don't matter how fast
Just matter which way
Don't matter if last
It matter if in vain

This is not Paradise
This is the story of my life.


Yes, I get it, I've had only 15 years and uh...9 months of life to sing about. I'll update this poem say...ten years later. Every ten years actually. Yeah, visit this blog in 2017, 2027, 2037, 2047, 2057, 2067, 2077, 2087...okay, i don't wanna live much beyond that.
