take the way you really feel

[Chorus]
A D E A
Cause no one hands out medals for keeping it real

So don´t waste your life because the choices are yours
do what you think is right and let that be it´s own reward
So don´t waste your life because the choices are yours
do what you think is right, let be it it´s own reward.
