what are you waiting for

what happened to that pretty smile of yours more radiant than the moon and stars

now covered with a veil of anxious thoughts and the open wounds of ancient scars

so much life still lies ahead of you, embrace every moment and live it well

so much to be thankful for, blessed in so many ways and yet your troubles only seem to swell

don't let these feelings drag you down, don't let them pull you deeper into the mire

pick yourself up, take a deep breath and dive head first into the fire

lift yourself up on angels wings and high into the clouds you'll soar

rise up and take all life has to give, go on get out there, what are you waiting for
