Tell Me

CHORUS:
Tell me, what have you done?
Did you ever, become that someone
You’d dreamt of being in time?
And tell me, how far have you come?
Were you ever, held back by anyone?
Did you let opportunity by?
Tell me, what have you done with your life?

Am I happy? Am I lost?
Was trying just too high a cost?
Did I settle for something too small?
Was I just afraid of losing it all?

Pushing my own hopes aside,
I neglected myself, misplacing my pride.
Forgetting that voice in my head.
But then it said, then it said…

CHORUS:
Tell me, did you explore?
And go through every opening door?
Or did you build your own walls out of fear?
Tell me, were you ever held back?
Did you push on, or fall through the cracks?
Did you give up, or did you persevere?
Tell me, what have you done so far, here?

My whole life I’ve been tested and tried,
I’ve kept so many doubts and fears deep inside.
I’m looking for some kind of change.
Destiny’s calling my name.

Dreams and reality battling within,
I’ve got nowhere to run, walls are closing in.
I’ve built up this internal hell.
But then I looked in the mirror and I asked myself…

CHORUS:
Tell me, where did you go?
Did you discover all you wanted to know?
And find everything that you wanted to see?
Tell me, what did you learn?
Did you suffer? Do the memories burn?
Are your successes complete?
Tell me, is life all you thought it would be?

BRIDGE:
Live life to the fullest, every minute is gold.
Don’t be afraid to keep believing, or you’ll never know.
The path less traveled holds memories to be.
Stand up for yourself, even when it’s not easy.
Let no one hold you back, the sky is the limit.
Don’t ever give up, if your heart’s truly in it.
Fear is a river, but hope is a bridge.
And dreams are just dreams until you start to live.

CHORUS INTRO:
Was it, pride, or just fear?
To take chances when glory was near
Though you’ve chased for it all of your life

CHORUS:
But I’ll tell you, it’s not over yet.
You have time still, don’t live with regret.
Keep pursuing, past failure, rejection, and shame.
Just push through, with all of your heart.
Even when you’re sent back to the start.
Don’t worry about things you can’t change.
May history remember your name.

Tell me, what have you done with your life?
