Up To Me
A song about motivation, mind over matter and positive thinking. Composed and performed by Matt Ellers.
If it's going to be, it's up to me
If it's going to be, it's up to me
It's going to be yeah
Persistence is the greatest key to goals for which we strive
The force that will deliver us and teach us to survive
Why do we feel so compelled to justify our lives?
Well I don't know
I've had these dreams, these same desires, since I was only ten
They've slipped right through my fingers but I try and try again
You see the future is blank paper and it's me who holds the pen
So here I go again
If it's going to be, it's up to me
If it's going to be, it's up to me
It's going to be yeah
If it's going to be, it's up to me
If it's going to be, it's up to me
It's going to be yeah
Remembrance of phrases that indoctrinated me
An articulate projection of the man I want to be
I find these words have greater meaning
As my own responsibility becomes more real as I embrace maturity
Do or die, sink or swim
Don't blame me; don't blame Him
The future is not written yet
You determine what you get
Your life is yours; you must invest
Never aim for second best
Be deliberate, know for sure
And peace of mind will be in store
I'm tired of being a victim of what's happening to me
The time has come to take control, fulfill my destiny
You see, the future's not the past, but that's how things are gonna be
If I don't change
If it's going to be
Today
It's up to me
If I don't change
If it's going to be
Today
It's up to me
It's going to be yeah
