Be the Inspiration

Ron Flatow
Your mind races when you hear that song
The sun glasses go on
And the volume goes up
Your foot hits the peddle while imagination races for a medal

Maybe it's the melody
Or the singer who makes you feel like a winner
Perhaps the words motivate your inner desire
Which pushes you to let lose sets you on fire

Each of us has a trigger
And we want to be that super hero
The kind that everyone looks up to
But to be the inspiration

You got to be willing to let go of the illusion
To be that speed racer and come up on top
Look in that rear view mirror
Ask yourself so why you in such a rush

But then your ego says hey.... man it ain't no big deal everything's cool
Your heads bobbing to the beat your hair is flying in the wind
You've got this view of how you think everything should be
But deep in your belly you got this fear and you shrug it off like everything's ok

So you continue on your merry way day after day
Then one day maybe five years later you here that voice again
Suddenly all those emotions come rushing back
But this time you say ok I'm ready to listen

And the message is clear so you change the direction
You start to become the inspiration
People start to praise you for your actions
Then one day you meet this young man whom is stuck in his pride

You offer him guidance you tell him the message
He looks up at you and tears fill his eyes
He just kneels down sobbing from all the hurt
You say it's ok because "Love is the answer"
