Running through the striped tunnel, its a long way.
You can't stop running, that's your life goin on.
But you'll stop, just this once
Turn around. the walls have photos,
frames of your life, glimpses of your past.
Take a good look at these photos
Soon you shall jump the ledge, leave behind your teens
Your an adult, know it now, now
You've seen your life, changes in you.
Now look, left and right. You see that?
Its the current, the present.
Soon it shall leave you by
Your friends, your family, soon becoming memories upon your wall.
THat's how it works, there isn't much you can do; deal with it.
Turn back forward, the blank walls lie ahead.
That is you, your future. Ripe for the planting.
The soil is rich, plant your future to those walls.
Grow it, buture it, love it, thats yours.
Shape it to yourself, tell true to yourself.
Because thats your future,
Keep it Real
Keep It True.
