You’ve discovered the good life Footloose and fancy-free
You hear horror stories of others But that couldn’t happen to me
You live life like you want to Stayin’ loose and gettin’ high
When will you find out the cost Of the truth behind the lie?
When you take your life into your own hands What do you really do?
Like castles built upon the sand What will happen to you?
Will you wait until it’s too late?
Will you wait until it’s too late?
Or will you see where you need to be?
Will you wait until it’s too late?
Or will you see where you need to be?
With your initials carved in the tree…
Every road looks easy When the sun is shining bright
But every choice is building Tomorrow’s wrong or right
The seeds we plant in secret Become the lives we live
The heart is always harvesting Whatever we choose to give
Will you wait until it’s too late?
Will you wait until it’s too late?
Or will you see where you need to be?
Will you wait until it’s too late?
Or will you see where you need to be?
With your initials carved in the tree…
(Repeat)
