Follow the muse
To the end of your days
Dance like a flame
In between the drops of rain
Paint what you dream
Sing from your heart
Follow the Muse

Wake up kid
Shake it up kid
Take a look at your life and crank it up kid
Today's the day, someday you'll look back on
And you can make it or break it
Make it burn out
Make it turn out
Make it about the battles you've won
Not what you would've, should've, could've done
Shine, cause it's your time
You've found your inspiration

Follow the muse
To the end of your days
Dance like a flame
In between the drops of rain
Paint what you dream
Sing from your heart
Follow the muse

There's lightning high
It's right behind
Where others cannot see
Catch a fistful of destiny
And set free your destiny

Follow the muse

In the end, all that's left
Is graves and wreaths and love that's best
You ran the race and that you did your best
You passed the test
You're off to the next
And if you're blessed
You must bless the heart you touched
Souls you've impressed
Likely be a little less
Unless you miss your chance at this
To raise your voice and raise your fist
You make a noise
You make your point with persistence
Turn, inform the world of your resistance
Of being tired, fired, desired
And commitment
You were born with the equipment
Sure to go the distance
Can you shoot for your passion
And choose the invention
Move forward your destination
Shoot down the escalation

And you're talking walking the world crossin' the valley
Erect a spectacle, a miracle that bodies
You hope that miracles will soon fulfill to Hollywood

Follow the muse
To the end of your days
Dance like a flame
In between the drops of rain
Paint what you dream
Sing  from your heart
Follow the muse
Walk in the sun

Follow the muse
To the end of your days
Dance like a flame
In between the drops of rain
Paint what you dream
Sing from your heart
Follow the muse

Paint what you dream
Sing from your heart
Follow the muse
