Where? Who? (1:12)
by David
 

Where are you when your peers are being pushed around?
Do you close your eyes and walk bye while they pick their scattered books off the ground?
Or do you profess to yourself, that that kid needed help, so you get on the floor with him and pick up his mess with him, well it turns out you made his day, he ends up spilling his guts and all he wanted was for someone to listen.
What ever the reason this day and age, make sure you give to others, live for others on and off-stage
For we live in a world where the end could be tomorrow, so you don't really want to leave behind an image full of guilt and sorrow?
So who are you?
Do you find yourself on the outside looking in, only doing things to fit in, going against everything you believe in and what you're feeling?
So make a choice, do you want to live life in a traffic jam, live life like you just don't give a damn?
Or do you want to feel like you have a purpose, live life like you've got a reason, give to others, live for another all 4 seasons.
