Dare you to move

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next
What happens next

[Chorus]
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
Tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

[Chorus]

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before

A friend of mine introduced this song to me not long ago, it came into my mind quite frequent these days. It is an old song from Switchfoot, the band which also sang few songs in the movie, A Walk to Remember.

I like how it is mentioned in this song "everybody is watching you now", "everybody waits for you now" because this is really how life turns out to be. People are subjected to judgement by the norm based on every single opinion, action, perception, idea, thought of theirs. Under such circumstances, the old saying of "think before you act" is no longer ought to, but rather NEED to be applied strongly on every single waking hours of ours.
