Intro:
Today is a new day
Everything that was is said and done
It is time to let go and live for what is to come
Rather than what was to be
You are the master of your own fate
Go out and be the person you dream of being
You only have so much time
So stop worrying and seize the day
Carpe Diem, 2014
Hook:
I've awaited this moment all my life
I've lived in this place since I was five
How high will life surpa** me by?
It's hard to leave this all behind, oh
I'm never forgetting all these memories made
But all of it happened like a tidal wave
Wished away, think we're just too mature to stay
I'll never ever be the same, oh
Verse:
It's been 4 years, oh 4 years
You came here with no fears
That old life was old tears
Can't go dear, you stroll here
A smooth adjustment, you gotta love it
Got new friends, put God above it
You fall asleep, you wanna shove it
Got dreams of that field to plummet
You fall in love at an early stage
Girl shows no sign of age
Can't help but show your rage
Those bullies try to drive you insane
So you fade away, find yourself
No one cared that you needed help
You're on you way to greater things
D MVP, you rock the belt
You walk on yourself and you're whipping to charge her
Got regular persons and regular charters
You try to improve but you're feeling the barter
The feeling you had only made you grind harder
Forgiveness is mentioned, you fall in the water
You give in to Cupid, you try for another
You live out that junior year like you's a raider here
Not knowing that it's been tarnished
So, pull out the back like you lay in a sauna
You couldn't have but a regrettable summer
Your last year approaches, it couldn't have been shorter
You're sure of yourself but you wish it was longer
So many young choices and pathways to go
But you've made up your mind, and you're making your own
You got nothing to fear but the road and these hopes
Cause then soon you'll be leaving a place you call home

Outro:
That's why you gotta live everyday like it's your last, you know?
And that's no cliché whatsoever
One day, you're sitting here thinking it's never gonna change
And that change is the very thing that consumes you
It's a crazy thought
But one day it's all gonna be a memory you know
All the relationships you made, all the time you invested
It's all gonna add up to this scary thing we call the past
But without that, you can never grow
So, let's take this time to appreciate everything
That's made us who we are
Cause one day, we'll all be departing
