What is ambition?
What is ambition, I hear you say,
Ambition is what you want to do all day, ambition is your dream,
Your goal to reach, your ambition could be to be a life guard on a beach.
Your ambition could be to be an astronaut, the first man on Mars,
It could be to be an astrologist and gaze at the stars.
Your ambition could be anything, as long as you think big,
It could be crazy, like to make a cyborg pig.
Maybe you want to be an athlete, an inventor, anything at all.
You could be in the hall of fame, with your picture on the wall.
The possibilities are endless, anything you wish.
You could make a machine that lets you talk to a fish,
You could lead a country, and be a great king, you could, in fact, be anything.
Just think!
You could be anything today, you just need to work hard and things will go your way.
Nothing can stop you from achieving your goal, you just need to do what really comes from the soul. So, go ahead
and do something new, what you do with your life is all up to you.
