Verse 1 (Style: Smooth, reflective narrative flow) I know you’re sitting on the bottom of the ladder rung, Twenty-something dreams, but the bell has not been rung. You got that thick stack of rejections you keep counting, Like every single failure is a mountain you are mounting. But hear the wisdom from the elder on the climb, He said, "Mistakes in your twenties? That is income, not a crime!" It’s the price you pay for lessons you can’t buy, The moment to experiment, before you learn to fly. The best property you have is the sheer fact that you’re young, So fall down twenty times, and get up 'til the song is sung. Don't worry 'bout the money, follow people, chase the dream, And watch your biggest stumbles fuel a revolutionary steam. Chorus 1 (Call and Response) (Style: Big, anthemic beat drop. Gospel-like Call and Response) They say today is hard, what do we do? (We don’t stop, we push right through!) They say tomorrow’s worse, what’s the true sign? (Hold the line, hold the line!) But what about the sunshine, what's the reward? (It’s the day after tomorrow, by the Lord!) Yeah, the day after tomorrow, we will see the light! (Patience, persistence, and we win the fight!) Verse 2 (Style: Rhythmic, driving percussion, confident vocal delivery) The years tick on, the clarity must start to kick in, No longer bouncing wildly, it’s time to truly win. In your thirties, you get focused, what’s the clear goal set? Find a good boss first, or be the best one you have met. Then find the strengths you’re holding, past the forty-year mark, Stay in your lane and crush it, leave your genius on the arc. Don't waste time complaining, turn the grievance into grace, See the opportunity hiding in the hardest, empty space. It's more than just the IQ, more than high EQ, too, We need the Love Quotient, the care in all we do. The future is for wisdom, imagination, and design, So stop the machine thinking, let your own true wisdom shine. Chorus 2 (Call and Response) (Style: Big, full orchestration, powerful Call and Response, higher energy than the first) They say today is hard, what do we do? (We don’t stop, we push right through!) They say tomorrow’s worse, what’s the true sign? (Hold the line, hold the line!) But what about the sunshine, what's the reward? (It’s the day after tomorrow, by the Lord!) Yeah, the day after tomorrow, we will see the light! (Patience, persistence, and we win the fight!)
