I know you say you’re ready to change
But I need to get it down on paper
It’s in your face you’re ready to blame
The first guy in line to catch the train

I’ll save your seat
‘Cause you don’t stand for what you preach

See you with a broken string, tell me what you really mean,
Do you know what you want?
While beating up on yesterday, I was on my rollerblades
Rolling on moving on

It’s time to take the time to create
‘Cause you’re running late the doors are closing
So tip your hat and you might get back
Whatever you need is up ahead
This train won’t stop for anybody to get off

See you with a broken string tell me what you really mean
Do you know what you want?
While beating up on yesterday, I was on my rollerblades
Rolling on moving on
See you with a broken string tell me what you really mean
Do you know what you want?
Do you know, oh no

We got to run with it
It will get better
And that leaves we’re stuck together
Make your mind up
Know what you need to say before you shout at me
So take your seat ’cause standing only wears out feet

See you with a broken string, tell me what you really mean
Do you know what you want?
You’re beating up on yesterday, I was on my rollerblades
Rolling on, moving on
See you with a broken string, tell me what you really mean
Do you know what you want?
Beating up on yesterday, I was on my rollerblades
Rolling on, moving on
Do you know what you want?

A teacher in New York was teaching her class about bullying, and gave them the following exercise to perform. She had the children take a piece of paper, and told them to crumple it up, stamp on it, and really mess it up, but do not rip it. Then she had them unfold the paper, smooth it out, and look at how scarred, and dirty is was. She then told them to tell it they’re sorry. Now even though they said they were sorry, and tried to fix the paper, she pointed out all the scars they left behind. And that those scars will never go away no matter how hard they tried to fix it. That is what happens when a child bullys another child, they may say they’re sorry, but the scars are there forever. The looks on the faces of the children, in the classroom, told her the message hit home. Pass it on, or better yet, if you’re a parent or a teacher, do it with your child/children.

To The Crazy Ones

Here’s to the crazy ones.

     The misfits.

       The rebels.

         The troublemakers.

           The round pegs in the square holes.

             The ones who see things differently.

They’re not fond of rules.

         And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,

         disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.

Because they change things.

They invent.                They imagine.                They heal.

They explore.                They create.                They inspire.

They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.

     How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
         Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?
           Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people.

While some see them as the crazy ones,
         we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think
         they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Think Different

Sleep it off again
Don’t remember when started
Failing to communicate
Will it see like I’m in half-hearted?

There’s not much to explain
When I’m so in my head
The stronger the theme
The less you will need
To hear it from me
To know what I am trying to say

Sorry if I don’t see you
Mind me if my eyes cross you
Keep in mind I’m not here
I’m a different zone

Sorry if my words hurt you
Wish I knew the time to lie to you
Keep in mind I’m not here
I’m from a different world

Wait till I’m unique
I’m a light in the making
My wisdom will strip you down
Can’t believe all the risk I’m taking

There’s still so much to learn
And things you haven’t heard
I want you see beneath everything
You’re no different than me
No matter the language we speak

Sorry if I don’t see you
Mind me if my eyes cross you
Keep in mind I’m not here
I’m from a different zone

Sorry if my words hurt you
Wish I knew the time to lie to you
Keep in mind I’m not here
I’m from a different world

Ahhh ahh ahhh ahhhh ahhhh

Sorry if I don’t see you
Mind me in my eyes cross you
Keep in mind I’m not here
I’m in a different zone

Sorry if my words hurt you
Wish I knew the time to lie you
Keep in mind I’m not here
I’m a different world

Sorry if my words hurt you
Wish I knew the time to lie to you
Keep in mind I’m not here
I’m a different world

Keep in mind I’m not here
I’m from a different world…

When you try your best, but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you’re too in love to let it go
But if you never try you’ll never know
Just what you’re worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I…

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And I…

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
