lyrics

It was High School when it was decided and at dinner I said
“I wanna be Indiana” and this was the key
But all you did was scoff, groan and shake your head
Like saying “couldn’t you decide on something else to be?”

Wake up Child get your head out of the clouds
You need to be more realistic and less like a kid.

My Smile faded, my light gone, negativity dumped.
With my Head declined my heart had started to pound.
Then to make a wound worse you, my family, all laughed!
What was so funny about my dream! I thought it was sound!

But you father, you stayed silent, and that was worse
You just let me be torn down and ruined your philosophy
Cause all you did was eat your mac and cheese which made me want to curse
Why did you even say, “Go and study something that will makes you happy”

And my mother would say, “Study something that would make money”
She didn’t want to work old and wanted to retire
Ironic since mo’ money was what got herself in the red, how funny!
I would help regardless, I ain’t heartless, but I want your support through the mire-Inner

You are my family and I want you behind the choice of my career.
And I am indecisive as it is, please don’t add to the doubt and fear
I have the potential to be anything I want so what to do?
But you know through all this squabbling I realized something new

That you didn’t see all this passion for my dreams
I will make it obvious so support me through the seams
And after I change all that you all will see what I see
Because college is where my choices will become me.
