Wise Up!

Sunday's Lyrics

We often hear the saying “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”  Sometimes, the first step to improving one’s circumstance or making changes, is to first confront the brutal facts.  That means assessing where you are now with things – the good and the bad – and carving out a plan as to how to move forward.  The beautiful thing about life is that it is never too late to become what it is you hoped to be when you grew up.  Let me say that again… it is never too late to become what it is you hoped to be when you grew up. 

So, although your current reality may not be ideal, it marks only a starting point as you take giant steps in the direction of what it is you desire.  And each step forward is an increase in distance from the place you use to be.  Wise up, speaks to this, with the last line challenging us to wise-up or we might as well give up.

Life is beautiful.  And the best thing about it is that we can always start over.  No matter where we are in life… Choose your own adventure. 

Wise Up by Aimee Mann

It's not

What you thought

When you first began it

You got

What you want

Now you can hardly stand it though,

By now you know

It's not going to stop

It's not going to stop

It's not going to stop

'Til you wise up

You're sure

There's a cure

And you have finally found it

You think

One drink

Will shrink you 'til you're underground

And living down

But it's not going to stop

It's not going to stop

It's not going to stop

'Til you wise up

Prepare a list of what you need

Before you sign away the deed

'Cause it's not going to stop

It's not going to stop

It's not going to stop

'Til you wise up

No, it's not going to stop

'Til you wise up

No, it's not going to stop

So just...give up
