Intro: --/----


Verse 1:
       
I woke up to a dream passing by
                         
It was the middle of the night
Was I awake? Was I asleep?
                    
What was I doing outside?
I saw a man walk from the trees
                        
He came and sat next to me
He said, "Boy, if you 
                  
don't follow your dreams
You'll be dead someday
          
Just like me"
Then he got up 
and walked away
                 
And I started to think
He turned around
I saw his face
And I looked deep 
       
in his eyes
And I realized 
that man was me


Chorus:
                    
  You're not for this world
                  
This world is for you
               
And now is the time
(There's no tomorrow!)
            
  So make the most 
         
of every day
              
While you're alive
(Stand for something!)


Interlude: (hold)


Verse 2:
        
I contemplate my 
every day
And everything I've 
               
been afraid to change
Never good enough
(promptly too late?)
                
Always excuses away
I used to think if 
I never tried
              
I would never fail
Now I realize I 
can do anything


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:
               
  Too little too late
             
And then you die
    
And no one even 
           
knows your name
               
Don't let your light
                
fight from your heart
     
Your heart gives you 
           
the best advice
        
Believe! 
Bb   C     Gm-- Gm(hold)
   Believe!


(Repeat Chorus)


Outro:

  For what you believe
                    Bb--F/A--Dm--F--Bb--F/A--Dm(hold)
