Seize the Day

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race

And the human race is filled with passion, poetry, beauty, romance, love

These are what we stay alive for

Carpe Diem, seize the day

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may

Strive to find your own voice

Seize the day, look at it in another way

Carpe Diem, seize the day

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may

Strive to find your own voice

Seize the day (seize the day)

We are members of the human race

And the human race is filled with passion

Words and ideas can change the world, can change the world

The powerful play goes on

And you may contribute a verse

The powerful play goes on, goes on

Do you have any special skills?

Oh, yes, I do, I do voices

What do you mean, you do voices?

I do voices, yeah!

I'm a hip old granny who could hip hop, be bop

Dance, dance, dance 'til you drop, drop, drop

I'm a hip old granny who could hip hop, be bop

Yo, yo, make a wicked cup of cocoa

I'm a raptor doing what I can

Gonna eat everything 'til the appearance of man

Yo, yo, see me, I'm living below the soil

I'll be back, but I'm coming as oil

This is rock and roll! Rock and roll!

Dance, dance, dance, 'til you drop, drop, drop

Cast your eyes to the summer sky

And today, make a wish

You must strive to find your own voice

'Cause the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all

Carpe Diem, seize the day

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may

Strive to find your own voice

Seize the day, look at it in another way

Carpe Diem, seize the day

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may

Strive to find your own voice

Seize the day

Only in their dreams can men be truly free

'Twas always thus, and always thus will be
