You can shape your future,
into anything you want it to be
You are the one who molds it
You are the one who shapes your destiny.
You cannot expect it to fall just anyplace
You can choose the perfect landing
It may not happen over night
It may take some time for planning.
Begin with an idea or a concept,
and even a dream or two.
Remember anything is possible,
if you have faith in you.
Do not wait until tomorrow
Start on your way tonight
Do not be disappointed,
if things don't turn out just right.
Always hold your head up high.
Don't look back on yesterday
Plan as though the end is coming
Don't waste time along the way.
Never get discouraged
Your hopes can become reality,
because you're the one who holds tomorrow,
and you're the one who shapes your destiny.
