Do you remember the moment you gave up on the passion
Said, “I gotta postpone it, gotta grow up and be rational.”
Lately you have discovered there’s a reason they call it a deadline
‘Cause you’re dying with every passing minute of company time
Do you sacrifice all of your dreams to a paycheck and a pension
If you’re feeling the tension that settling brings, listen close
Strike it up, feel the call
Turn it out, risk it all
Find your love, magical
Do it now, strike it up
How did we get so resentful and bow down to mediocrity
Childhood potential used to be prophecy
Now you’re chocking on platitudes that no longer suffice
So surrender to pure pursuits and deny conventional life
If you’re tired of paying your dues then it’s time for a refund
Taking the plunge when you’ve made up your mind, had enough
Strike it up, feel the call
Turn it out, risk it all
Find your love, magical
Do it now, strike it up
‘Cause settling down in a practical rut might be easy
But believe me the life that you get will be spent only once
Strike it up, feel the call
Turn it out, risk it all
Find your love, magical
Do it now, strike it up
