revolutionary

you are one among
7 billion people
who wake up each day
and things are always the same.

you may go through the motions
wondering if life
will ever be anything other than mundane.

but you were made to be so much more than that
it's not too late to rethink where you are at.

who are you to say
that things will never change?
we'll find a way to make
the world a better place.
follow your dreams and see
that we were never meant to be
ordinary-- we're revolutionary.

because among
7 billion people
there are some who wake up each day
to find things are the same:

some have no food or shoes
or water to survive
and some find very little love in their lives.

and you can think there's not much you can do.
but what if everyone else thinks the same thing too?

who are you to say
that things will never change?
we'll find a way to make
the world a better place.
follow your dreams and see
that we were never meant to be ordinary--
we're revolutionary.

and you may think we're radical
and life will always be miserable
but there is always hope.
and every gift
and every smile
and every bit of kindness will
always help show
exactly what love is.
so everyone can know.

and we can say
that we know things can change.
we'll find a way to make
the world a better place.
follow your dreams and see
that we were never meant to be ordinary--
we're revolutionary.

i've heard people say
they'll never give their hearts away
afraid that they will break
afraid love will run away

and maybe it is true
it's always safe to hold on tightly to

but awake your heart and sing
cause there's beauty in everything
and even when it hurts inside
it's better to be alive
cause every part of life's made of love.

nothing in life is safe
to live at all is a dangerous choice to make
but there's so much more to life
don't let it pass you by.

you have so much to give
just let it go and live.

awake your heart and sing
cause there's beauty in everything
and even when it hurts inside
it's better to be alive
cause every part of life's made of love.

it's safe to say that life's not safe
we are fragile souls that break and break
but don't close your eyes there's so much left to see
look inside and see who you were meant to be.

awake your heart and sing
cause there's beauty in everything
and even when it hurts inside
it's better to be alive
cause every part of life's made of love.
