Your Future is in your Hands

They say that we cannot control our lives

They say that we are powerless to put up a fight

They think that there is no way we can make a stand

The power to change the world is in your hands

If you want to be all that you can be

If you want to pursue happiness and be free

You have to do something to change the world

And stand tall and be proud when that flag is unfurled

The secret to life is to live it

Find out what you want and get it

Don’t let others crush your dreams

Support yourself and believe

Only you can make your dreams come true

But you cant do it until you take a stand

Fight for your rights and dont back down

Its your future that is in your hands.  

2014 Poet Raymond Nichols
