Lyrics: Madina Lake. Attics to Eden. Not for This World.
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
And 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
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)
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
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)
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, believe
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)
For what you believe
For what you believe
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
And 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
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)
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
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)
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, believe
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)
For what you believe
For what you believe
