Held down by a heavy sky
I followed rules and I dont know why
Ignored the options that I could not see
Indecision had a hold of me
Followed the path that was forced by fate
I never saw the hour was getting late
I never cared what I turned out to be
I sensed something wrong now its up to me
I got the chance now Im gonna take it
I dont know I might not even make it
Ill follow rules that are made up by me
I wasted time too long now its up to me
Its up to me-to be all I can be (r.w. emerson)
Its up to me
Looked to the past for some history
Looked for the sum of humanity
A list of laws they passed down through time
A ruthless plot to control my mind
I gotta make a plan for myself
Cant look to you cant look to anybody else
Only this way am I truly free
I wasted time too long now its up to me
All the rules that I see
Have taken old inside of me.
So much to lose so many kinds
One thing comes to mind-time
I gotta make a plan for my life
I gotta take the time to get it right
I gotta be the person I gotta be
I gotta make a plan and now
Its up to me
