Make Your Own History
Stray From the Path Lyrics

You've been waiting so long to find it in yourself that you have nothing
You've spent so much time searching for your identity that you've lost touch with who you truly are.

You've been trying to find yourself through the years
You've been on a journey to discover your true self over time.

From the start to the finish line
Your journey to find yourself has been ongoing from the beginning to the end.

And I can say I have been honest with you
I've been truthful towards you.

But you're not gonna listen, You don't ever listen
You're not open to listening to what I have to say or anyone's opinion for that matter.

Make your own, make your own history
Create your own unique story and leave your mark in history.

Leave behind your legacy
Leave behind something that will be remembered and embodies who you are.

Blindly following footsteps before you know it
You're unknowingly following in someone else's footsteps or path without truly considering if it's the right one for you.

Traveled closer to your own death
Every step you take towards blindly following someone else's path brings you closer to losing your own sense of self and ultimately, your mortality.

Through the years you've misplaced identities
Over time, you've lost the true sense of who you are and have taken on misleading identities.

A hybrid of lies and apologies
Your misplaced identities are a mix of falsehoods and apologies for not being true to yourself.

Think for yourself
Challenge your beliefs and start thinking critically on your own.

Prove to everyone that your life means something
Show everyone that your life has significance by creating your own path and leaving your own legacy.

Do you want to be alive?
Are you truly living if you're not being true to yourself and creating your own path in life?

Stop trying to be something that you're not
Quit pretending to be someone that you're not and instead, embrace your true self.

Start thinking with your heart and focus on what you got
Begin thinking with your emotions and values and center your focus on the things that truly matter to you.

Make your mark on the world
Make a positive impact on the world that reflects who you are and the values you stand for.

Because the only lives that count are the ones that make an impact
The only lives that truly matter are the ones that have made a difference by leaving behind a legacy that embodies the person's true self.

To live a life is to be profound
Living a life of purpose and meaning that leaves a lasting impact on the world is the essence of truly living.

Pick yourself up get your feet off the ground
Believe in yourself, stand up and start working towards your goals with determination and perseverance.

No use for everything to be handed to you
There's no value in everything being given to you. True satisfaction comes from earning things through hard work and dedication.

The higher the better it doesn't matter what you do
No matter what you choose to do in life, always aim high and strive for the best possible outcome.

Make your own history
Create your own unique story and legacy that reflects who you truly are.

Make your own
Create something unique that embodies your true self.

Leave behind, leave behind your legacy
Leave behind something that will be remembered and embodies who you are for generations to come.
