A new song testing my New Taylor 814 CE . Started out introspective and then turned into a message to the youth. New Jan 2017
Story behind the song
Was wanting to record something on the Taylor 814 I got for Christmas and it turned into this.
Lyrics
Make up your Mind Words and Music Tony DeLecce January 2017
I remember back when I was 17
And my father said you have to work hard and believe
He said there is nothing in this life that’s free
You need to learn what it takes to succeed
Cause Nobody owes you a living or a life
Chorus
You better make up your mind and soon
Cause Time won’t wait for you
You have to make up your mind it’s true
And make your own way its up to you
Verse2
Seems like half the country
Has lost their minds
They want everything for free
All of the time
They don’t care about the cost to you and me
As long as they get everything they need
They think they are owed a living and a life
Chorus
You better make up your mind and soon
Cause Time won’t wait for you
You have to make up your mind that's true
Everythings left to you
Bridge
You better make up your mind
You are running out of time
And you better take the time
to learn how to survive
Middle lead string quartet
Verse3
Now I know what my father said was true
It’s time that the country understands it too
God always wants what is best for you
But this is something only you can do
Cause Nobody owes you a living or a life
Chorus
You better make up your mind and soon
Because Time won’t wait for you
You have to make up your mind it’s true
Before there’s nothing left for you
Verse4
To all of you that are 17
You can be anything you want to be
There’s nothing in this life that’s free
You have to work hard if you want to succeed
Cause Nobody owes you a living or a life
Chorus
You better make up your mind and soon
Because Time won’t wait for you
You have to make up your mind it’s true
Before there’s nothing left for you
