Well, What Is Awesome If You Don't Know Dreams And Life's Aging Smile?

Well, what's awesome?
In awe and possibly jealousy of those who want them
Want what? Well what's awesome of course!
What what's the striven for awesomeness source?
Well look at this boy so confident and hip
Buying what celebrities where on each trip
To your friendly local clothing store
To make yourself awesome by owning some more
Of the things people want because other people do
The new iPhone or purse, and no matter who
you seem to be or who you think you are
That's what awesomeness is to all who are subpar
Mediocre people who don't have these fancy things
And don't understand the happiness it brings
To have all the luxuries they show to the world
But what is real and can not be controlled
Is the happiness that people feel when they have expensive stuff
Because that happiness they feel isn't enough
It's an emptiness inside that needs to be filled
With useless contraptions waiting to be killed
When the next one comes out and there is one better
Because their form of happiness is not all that clever
It's a generation of people who rely on possessions
Social networks and mass media with a lack of discretion
Because the way people should impress everyone else
When people won't be or impress themselves
The way to be awesome in all that you do
Is by first being awesome, but awesome to you
I can't tell you why everything is awesome to me
Because the way I see awesome mightn't be the way that you see
Everything is awesome if we make it that way
If every single day is the best day
Make every single day the best day of your life
And if today wasn't awesome yesterday will suffice
Everything is awesome if that's what we make
Making the world an awesome place no matter what it takes
Make someone smile, make someone laugh
Don't make life just pain and stay on the right path
Make life amazing and help other people blossom
So that they too can help make EVERYTHING AWESOME!!
