[Verse 1: Moshe Friedman]
Everybody wanna know why I had to fly
One day that July said my last goodbye
I could say a few words if you're asking why
Kind of hard to explain but I'll have to try
Had some questions, couldn't mask the lie
Answers left me unsatisfied
Like why do the good kids have to die?
And can I really prove there's some kind of afterlife?
You listen to my questions, you had the same ones
You wanna know where we're heading, and where we came from
But you forgot ‘em in the daily grind of new distractions
Mine were too important so I didn't have the same reaction
Knew I could not wait ‘till it was too late before that feeling's gone
So I spent that night trying to book that flight and find the next plane I'm leaving on
See you and I both wanna climb that ladder of success, that's agreed upon
The only difference is I wanna know which wall that ladder is leaning on
[Chorus: Rick Fox]
I know, I know I know you must be saying
This life is not a game, why you still playing?
But I gotta be riding in my highs, laughing in my lows
I just can't stop can't stop the flow
[Verse 2: Moshe Friedman]
Never mind what they might say
You gotta go find your right way
Some choices might take you sideways
But at least you can say that you tried, hey!
My friends treated me in mean ways
Laughing at each in-between phase
From rap music then to frat student
On to half-Buddhist who sits writing screenplays
But at each stage, never held it there
Reflected and became more self aware
Cuz' I couldn't sit around with some helpless stare
Choose your own direction, nobody will tell you where to go
They all called me a silly joker
A faker trying to be a poser
But I knew that only change could bring me closer
To greatness, never settling for mediocre
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Moshe Friedman]
Not a thing in this world that remains at rest
You're either changing more or you're changing less
I'm gonna speak my mind put my brain to breath
If you're afraid of change then you're afraid of d**h
Lost some friends, made some new ones
The ones I lost weren't really the true ones
And those I've encountered along the way
Let me tell you what I want to say
Mom and Dad, I did not reject you
My friends back home yeah I still respect you
Will I change your mind? I don't expect to
But I'll hold the mirror up to reflect to
So be yourself, disown the norm
Challenge the status and don't conform
Accept the change that might sever your track
Then keep on moving and never look back
