Think for Yourself

Prelude

Cold stone and candlelight

Shadows flicker on vaulted halls

Echoes of voices lost to time

Hope flickers and then withdraws

Ancient winds sweep through the glass

Old scars in hearts remain

Every journey must begin

With a little courage against the strain

Verse 1

They’ll tell you where to go,

And who you’re meant to be,

But every road you choose

Should lead to being free.

Pre-Chorus

Don’t live by someone else’s rules,

Don’t let them choose your point of view.

Chorus

Life is a book you write, not a movie you watch,

Turn every page and never let them stop

The voice in your heart, the truth in your soul—

Think for yourself and take control.

Post-Chorus

Your life, your choice, your destiny,

Be who you choose to be.

Verse 2

The crowd may shout so loud,

And swear they know the way,

But only you can choose

The words you live each day.

Pre-Chorus

Don’t wear the chains of someone’s mind,

Leave their expectations behind.

Chorus

Life is a book you write, not a movie you watch,

Turn every page and never let them stop

The voice in your heart, the truth in your soul—

Think for yourself and take control.

Post-Chorus

Your life, your choice, your destiny,

Be who you choose to be.

Bridge

You weren’t born to follow blindly,

You weren’t made to play their part,

Question everything they tell you,

And listen to your own heart.

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Some will judge the road you take,

Some will say that you are wrong,

But living by your own truth

Is what will make you strong.

Pre-Chorus

Stand your ground and speak your mind,

Your own truth is yours to find.

Chorus

Life is a book you write, not a movie you watch,

Turn every page and never let them stop

The voice in your heart, the truth in your soul—

Think for yourself and take control.

Post-Chorus

Your life, your choice, your destiny,

Be who you choose to be.

Verse 4

When the final page is turned,

Can you look back on your days,

Let the story written there

Be yours in every way.

Guitar Solo

Pre-Chorus

Don’t let another hold the pen,

Write your story to the end.

Chorus

Life is a book you write, not a movie you watch,

Turn every page and never let them stop

The voice in your heart, the truth in your soul—

Think for yourself and take control.

Outro

Your life, your choice, your destiny,

Be who you choose...

Write it proud and write it free.
