Ambition: Has Your Heart Ever Pumped You Lungs By Mistake?

Human beings are alive,
We have a beating heart,
Rocks are perfectly dead,
Seen one with a beating heart?
Human beings are alive,
We are not dust that rests,
But to live is not the same as alive,
When you are alive you're excited,
That feeling rockstars get on stage,
And you get when you come off stage,
The one you get when you win,
When you just live your heart beats,
Just to make blood flow through you,
Life plus ambition makes you alive,
You do not just live like you used to,
When you are alive your heart doesn't just beat,
It races like earth steam water shoots,
Supplying your whole body with renewed energy,
That exta energy beyond normal energy,
Do you think your heart is dumb?
Has it anytime pumped your lungs instead by mistake,
when you are ambitions you are excited,
And your heart knows you need power,
It beats faster for you to fly higher,
And makes you happier,
It's it's way of telling you,
Ambition is the right path for you,
Do not ignore you heart,
Our life is as meaningless as the word is,
It is up to us to give it direction,
And direction is best spelled a.m.b.i.t.i.o.n,
Where you were yesterday,
Should not be where you are today,
We are human beings born babies,
We grow to teenage and adult,
Why shouldn't our ambition grow to?
We aren't constant even in the least bit,
If you stopped wearing dippers ages ago,
Why are you embarrassing your ambition,
Wrapping it up in dippers instead of a thong?
Our ambition should grow just as we do,
Establish it's roots when it is born,
Then nature them until they are teenagers,
We discover ourselves while teenagers most,
It's the moment where our ambition discovers itself too,
And when it gets to adult hood like humans do,
It does not stop to grow,
Oh no it doesn't,
It grows on in a different way,
A more sophisticated way,
It develops,
Like countries do,
Just like our skills do when we start to work,
Just like our hair grows white with wisdom,
We are always on the move us humans,
Ask your blood if it has ever stopped in the veins?
If you woke up one day and your blood said,
It was on strike and did not want to flow?
It's unafraid of working and never gives up,
Even when you get punctured it clots itself,
And gets back to work moving,
Ask your heart if it ever stops to beat?
We are always moving,
Us human beings,
Everything about us,
So do not tell me you are finally there,
And you cannot move beyond where you are,
We are always growing,
Why shouldn't your ambition grow?
Let yourself dream of things big,
And when you dream and you don't feel alive,
Dream bigger and bigger much larger and more,
Let your ambition grow until you feel alive,
Let your ambition be so moving,
You heart it's gauge pumps faster,
In telling you you are on the right path,
And that mr.heart will promise to pump as hard,
So that you have all the energy you need,
To leave the dream you choose to live,
Let yourself see it every time you fall to sleep,
And if it doesn't make you smile and kick in bed,
As you melt in your private thoughts,
And day dreams,
Know that it is not big enough,
Inflate it like birthday balloons are,
So that its big and compelling,
So beautiful you plan to reach it,
So passionate about it your alarm is shocked,
For it always goes off when you are already awake,
Cock craw always finds you out of bed,
Running after you ambition,
Faster than blood runs through you veins,
You don't have time to get a Cold!
Running after your ambition,
With everything you have,
Because we are human beings,
And we grow all the time,
Even the country develops,
And has a vision for twenty thirty,
How do you tell me you don't have one?
That you don't want to set expectations so high?
You do not like disappointments?
I tell you this once,
And I will tell you again,
If your ambition is not big enough,
To move your heart to tears of joy,
To move your lips to a private smile,
When you look at yourself in the mirror,
and imagine yourself fulfilling it,
Then don't bother at all,
You will never feel alive,
You will only live,
Don't bother yourself,
Getting out of bed will be sad,
You will only live not feel alive,
And Monday's will feel like torture,
For you lack purpose,
And for those of us with ambition,
Already directed and compelling ambition,
We will fight like soldiers do,
Whether it rains or storms,
Whether they block the roads,
We will fly to where we are going,
We will swim if we must,
We will make short cuts,
We will go off road like off road tracks do,
If doors do not open for us,
We will make doors ourselves,
And those doors will open,
And everyday we will be living,
Better than you live everyday,
Better than we lived the day before,
Hoping to live the next day,
Better than we are living today,
And since we are already living yesterday's dream today,
We will not forget to toast wineglasses and scream,
In celebration of yesterday's work,
That are today's fruits,
And after we are done playing and partying hard,
We will zealously  put back on our boots and shield,
Run towards and shield our ambition against the unbelieving world,
That laugh now at our extreme ambition and daring hope,
But I will remind them that today I am living yesterday's dream,
Then why don't they think that tomorrow I will live today's?
Are they living yesterday's dreams today themselves?
by the end of this week I will play that song,
On my guitar oh yes I will,
And when I play it next week,
I will remember that am living yesterday's dreams,
And be ambitious enough to dream of playing,
Hundreds of othe beautiful heart-melting tunes,
The week after or whatever future date I set,
And when I am an ambitious man,
I will make sure I enjoy my work,
Like a c.e.o's always do,
Enjoying the journey as well as the destination,
When they let themselves drive to work in sleek limos,
When they let their office tables be mahogany-ed and glassed,
And the shelves too,
And the shoes and suits,
Hand stitched,
Taylor made both,
Like a c.e.o's always do,
Realizing that they will always hope for greater,
For success is as relative as ambition is,
Today you know gold trophies are the pecks of success,
Tomorrow you discover they make them in platinum,
For success levels  are as relative as ambition is,
Today you feel gold watches are the ultimate symbols of success,
Tomorrow you want one platinum-ed like the president has,
So just like a c.e.o realizes that the journey,
Is as important as the finish line,
I will realize that the journey to my ambition should be as sweet,
I will enjoy the journey as much as the destination
I will enjoy not giving up,
And I will enjoy the fruits in the end,
My ambition wont be shallow though,
Like a shallow fountain is,
My ambition will be full,
With words like wife and family,
Words like friends and heaven,
Words like money and fame,
Words like power and skill,
Words like sex and parties,
The happiest people are hungry people,
People hungry for ambition that is,
And every time they live their ambition,
They leave that ambition for a greater one,
And we look at them and wonder,
Why do they always surpass expectations,
Now you know,
Now I know,
Am already living,
But now..
Am ready to be alive,
Are you?
