letra de listen up - danny saucedo

listen up!
i chose happiness
and so can you

choose satisfaction over suffering
choose content over conflict
choose passion over paradigm
choose working on it over getting worn down

i saw a vision of a future me
a sniveling sycophant
groping, choking, groveling sh-t-shoveler
scheming his way to the middle
overvalued and unimportant
taking punishment as payment
grateful and godforsaken
and i chose happiness

i got a phone call last week from another me
he’s running six years late and his car broke down
somewhere in the middle of holy-cr-p-how’d-i-get-here
so, could i pick him up?
and i chose happiness

my childhood sent me a facebook message
asking what happened
why’d i change
i you we used to be different
he wants to join the school paper so he can call someone “chief”
he wants to start a rock band, he wants to be a rabbi, he wants to study garbage or rocks
he wants to make art, write books, play house, be cool, be smart, make friends, grades and the team
he wants to be a cartoon character, he wants to be a super hero

based on that checklist, i’m something of a failure
it’s not a bad read on the situation
i certainly failed to meet my own expectations

when i chose happiness
and so can you
