At first you don't know
Who you are
You can'ty help but wish
On every shooting star
You think everything will go your way
You will realize when you wake up someday...

Life isn't just
A game of cards
It's a journey to learn
Who you are

You face troubles
Hard choices and rough times
But with each passing year
You will grow wise

And when you are grown
And you look back
You will see how different you were
When you didn't know that...

Drinking and driving
Just don't mix
Don't tell the world
Who you kiss
You should never admitt to what you did
And not aploigize,
You will see then
How you weren't so wise

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
