When the tiger has your tail

You escape like a snail

When the daisy feelin’ lazy

You wilt along bein’ crazy!

When you start to fall apart

You decide to smash your heart

Laziness is a crime,

When you don’ wanna climb,

You fall off the cliff.

And wonder what if.

If you were to try

If you never lie,

“Finish it later,” you say

But what if you did today?

Those who never try may always live

But what does safety really give?

For dreams are bright stars reached by all,

But to truly taste a star so tall,

You must reach past the edge,

And find the strength to pledge:

To pledge for dreams so high and wide

And know deep down you always tried.

So, when the tiger has your tail

Let your bravery unveil

When the daisy feelin’ lazy

Don’t let yourself get hazy.
