Held down by a heavy sky
I followed rules and I don't know why
Ignored the options that I could not see
Indecision had a hold of me

Followed the path that was forced by fate
I never saw the hour was getting late
I never cared what I turned out to be
I sensed something wrong now it's up to me

I got the chance now I'm gonna take it
I don't know I might not even make it
I'll follow rules that are made up by me
I wasted time too long now it's up to me
It's up to me-to be all I can be
It's up to me

Looked to the past for some history
Looked for the sum of humanity
A list of laws they passed down through time
A ruthless plot to control my mind

I gotta make a plan for myself
Can't look to you can't look to anybody else
Only this way am I truly free
I wasted time too long now it's up to me

I got the chance now I'm gonna take it
I don't know I might not even make it
I'll follow rules that are made up by me
I wasted time too long now it's up to me
It's up to me-to be all I can be
It's up to me

all the rules that I see have taken old inside of me.
So much to lose so many kinds. One thing comes to mind...
time!

It's up to me
It's up to me
It's up to me
It's up to me
I gotta make a plan for my life
I gotta take the time to get it right
I gotta be the person I gotta be
I gotta make a plan and now
it's up to me
