1.Daybreak
2.Forward Again
forward again—i'm not turning from challenges now stirring or
all of the lost dreams that got lost waiting for another day
instead of creating, when i was evading my future. i think about
my life, weigh my cares, and try to dismiss this growing apathy.
i get lost in wondering where my adult life will lead.
forward again—is my youth fading？ i try to define a growing
fixation. i face a new world with unanswered questions and i
open eyes to this ideal of progression
i look in the sun…and this makes my world glow
3.Chasing the Night
i have a fear i can't assuage of a chance i sense that slips
away as we grow
to see the world, find our dreams, and explore a life beyond the
sea
adult responsibilities are taking my identity
will life pass by with us stuck here？ i will not wait another
year—let's go
we know that time won't wait.
is this our one chance to escape？
grab my hand and run, leave your life undone
look into my eyes if you need strength
and in the setting sun, we'll drive from wilmington on 17 to
florida…chasing the night
all around me, life has changed, i can't let go of the truths i
shaped in youth
to fight my cause and never bend and chase the summer to the end
of the earth
and feel the light…i've been searching my whole life
we know that time won't wait.
is this our one chance to escape？
grab my hand and run, we'll leave our lives for love
look into my eyes if you need strength
and in the setting sun, we'll drive from wilmington on 17 to
florida…chasing the night
4.I'm Going to Steal the Future
i feel it stir inside
everyday i will try to write
something new, something to inspire
a generation blinded by desire
i feel my heart beat fast when i dream that i could change the
world. our lives could change the world if we stay young, if we
stay...because i don't want to say goodbye
i work i reach to find
a better way to live my life
and though i must confess that i know i could give more
i'd rather fight alone than live a lie
i feel my heart beat fast when i dream that i could change the
world. our lives could change the world if we stay young, if we
stay...because i don't want to say goodbye
5.Vim Echo
the words echo clear in my mind, “come my new day”
for so long i failed to find the lines that shape
an image of self-progression with reason i found change,
purpose, and a new direction
i am building, i am driving the world
with music, art, and knowledge
they animate my thoughts, emotions, and build dreams
they communicate new ideas
hopefully this will break what binds me…
6.Dreams and Visions
last night we built a fire and we spoke our philosophies
i swore i would simplify my life and my future
ignore the distractions from life's growing complexity
that pull me away from what i want. can i find true love and a
life carefree？
i wonder as i define my place in society
will i stay strong in my convictions？
will i become what i swore i would never be？
will i stray from what i want？ can i find true love and a life
carefree？
will i find inspiration？ will my dreams and visions take me？
will i find adventure？ can my dreams and visions take me？
will i find self-expression？ will my dreams and visions take me？
will i find wisdom？
my dreams and visions make me whole.
7.The End of Silence
silence has taken me
i keep trying, but i can't speak
and i feel i'm going to sink
because for three years, i've been asleep
when i was gone, i felt i was crazy
can i stay strong？ the future is hazy
for so long, i felt i was afraid
this is the end of silence and now i'm free
8.Sell Your Soul to the Summer
it's all i know
it's all i dream
it's all i feel inside
i've lost control
i'm losing sleep
i scream for help
but cannot seem to find why
will the summer come and rescue me
give me hope, bring me life
is this putting my life on hold？
I WANT TO FEEL ALIVE
i try to grow
i'm building strength
to find a fuel to ignite
this growing sense
of urgency
i'm reaching out
i want to see the light
will the summer come and rescue me
give me hope, bring me life
is this putting my life on hold？
I WANT TO FEEL ALIVE
i cannot wait. i'm sinking in summer lights and i've been up all
night thinking.
i thought i'd let go of all my, my fruitless dreaming, but
instead i've been thinking,
do not sell your soul to the summer.
9.Unstill to Focus
for some time, for so long i've been too unstill to focus on my
future
out of step, overwhelmed, i have to chart a better course for my
life
set sights to explore—to see the world and live within the
moment
and i want culture, to meet different groups of people trying
new things
i won't follow a world so hollow
“i won't give in” will be my anthem
should i write？ should i call— to reach out to friends instead
of disconnecting
despite blame, ignore fear. i'll show dignity, respect, and
self-reliance
wishful thinking, i'm not breaking. i think i've found clarity.
