Lyrics

Proactive

Sitting in a place
You don't want to be
That's your life
Your misery

Everything that's bad
You allow to exist
It does no good
Just shaking your fist

Get out there
And take command
Every little thing
Doesn't need to be planned

You want change
So begin the motion
Your choices are more vast
Than the largest ocean

If you just sit
In your chair
You're doing nothing
To change out there

If you sit and grunt
And squirm and shake
Never doing anything
Is your greatest mistake

Anything you want
Can be yours
Talk to the right people
Open the right doors

Don't be held back
Not even by a friend
Their detaining you
Should make that friendship end

So hop to your feet
And take a step
Do not falter
Keep your pep

Only you can do it
Even if it's not fun
If you don't do it
It won't get done
