Don't Wait For Better Odds
Don't wait for adoration. Don't wait for big applause.
Don't wait for acclamation. Don't wait for Santa Claus.
It's time to get inflated. It's time to have some pride.
It's time to get elated. It's time to have some stride.
Don't wait in estivation. Don't wait for autumn awe.
Don't wait in hibernation.Don't wait for springtide thaw.
It's time to get ecstatic. It's time to have some joy.
It's time to get dramatic. It's time to have some ploy.
Don't wait for liberation. Don't wait for better odds.
Don't wait for extrication. Don't wait for rescue squads.
It's time to get ignited. It's time to have some sun.
It's time to get excited. It's time to have some fun.
