If I Can't Do It the Way I Want, Then I Don't Want to Do It at All
Embracing Life Beyond the Lines: Meg Warren's Empowering Anthem
Lyrics
I guess I’m lucky that I’m starting where I am
I feel fortunate to begin my journey from my current position.
I’ll be ok if I’m not rigid with a plan
I'll be fine without sticking strictly to a plan.
I’ll be ok if I don’t listen to a man
I'll be fine without adhering to someone else's advice.
Because I’ve learned what matters
I have learned what is truly important.
God know that we’re all taught that the
We are often taught that
Epitome
The highest point
Of humanity
Of human nature
Looks like youth, and fame, and money
Appears as youth, fame, and wealth.
But you come to find
However, you realize
That you can make a life
That a fulfilling life is achievable
Just outside the lines
Just beyond established boundaries.
And still be satisfied
And still find contentment.
If I can’t do it the way I want, then I don’t want to do it all
If I can't pursue it on my terms, I'd rather not pursue it at all.
I guess I’m lucky I got people in my life
I am grateful for the people in my life.
I know they they love me even when I’m not alright
They love me even when I'm not doing well.
They love me when I’m not productive like I’d like
They support me, even when I'm not as productive as I wish.
They let me know that matters
They remind me that what truly matters.
God knows we’re taught that worthiness
We are taught that value
And happiness
And joy
Is based on our success
Are linked to our achievements.
And there’s just one way to get it
And there's supposedly only one way to attain it.
But you come to find
Yet, you come to understand
That you can make a life
That a meaningful life can be created
Just outside the lines
Just beyond conventional boundaries.
And still be satisfied
And still experience fulfillment.
If I can’t do it the way I want, then I don’t want to do it all
If I can't pursue it on my terms, I'd rather not pursue it at all.
Somebody once sat me down and said I was being lazy
Someone once criticized me for being lazy
‘Cause I spent a Friday night at home with my baby
Because I chose to spend a Friday night at home with my loved one.
That mentality
That mindset
It used to work on me, well
Used to affect me, but
It hasn’t been working on me lately
It no longer has the same impact on me.
If I can’t do it the way I want, then I don’t want to do it all
If I can't pursue it on my terms, I'd rather not pursue it at all.
