It's up to you

Have you ever had a broken heart?
Made a wish on a shooting star?
Wanted to be something more than who you are?
Wanted to take a chance?
But were afraid you wouldn’t go very far?

Don’t give up hope
Look for tomorrow
Look past the pain and lies
Look for the bluest skies

Know that it’ll get better
Don’t be afraid to fall
Don’t spend you’re life hiding
Behind a wall
Don’t be afraid
To take a chance
And risk it all

Don’t give up on what you have
Know someday you’ll get you’re chance
It’s not over yet
So give it all you got
It could work
Or it could not
But you’ll never know
If you don’t take a shot

Don’t be afraid
To let the light shine through
Tomorrow could be better
But it’s up to you

Don’t be afraid
To dream
Don’t hold it back
When you want to scream

Don’t ever give up hope
Don’t forget there’s always someone
Who’ll help you cope


Don’t let a broken heart stop you
From loving with all you have
Keep wishing on those shooting stars
And know one day you’re wish will come true
Don’t spend time wishing to be more than what you are
Know it’s enough that you’re you
Don’t be afraid to take a chance
You'll never know unless you try
Don’t be afraid you won’t go far enough
You can go anywhere you want to
But it’s up to you

It really was inspirational. And it honestly really didn't seem like what you would normally write. Haha, it was still great and I think you deserve the popularity that it's getting.
