Lyrics Whale Rider - Ethan Young

(It's crazy that we live in a world that if you're super positive
And super creative
That it's scary
So what does that tell you about the mentality of most people
If you're scared of like positivity, and creativity)

Yeah
Hello everybody from your boy on cloud nine
I know it's been awhile and that it's about time
But I've been stressing out about how I'm supposed to climb
Mount Everest without somebody there to tie my line
I'll be going over 2030 to the Himalayas
First I'd like to find a wife but I'll admit I've been a player
So I'm scared I'll never settle down and I won't find a mate
And by the time I'm not so ugly it'll probably be too late
Like I'm so indecisive I can hardly pick a shirt
I'm really not that great at being cute or trying not to flirt
And I don't know when to be serious 'cause I went to a funeral
And I don't like to cry so I was laughing like a 2 year old
And people ask me how I'm gonna make it in the college world
If I am always acting like a fool in front of all the girls
Oh and I just bought a pair of heely's 'cause I think they're pretty fun
And I'm still going trick-or-treating even though I'm 21
And come to think of it I'm really not that great at math
I fell asleep and drooled in front of everyone in class
And then I told my teacher she don't gotta worry if I pass
'Cause I'm gonna work at Seaworld and everybody laughed
And I went home and I thought about the nature of reality
How everybody wants to pound enthusiasm out of me
How I'm expected to be practical and worried every night
And then I thought this isn't how I wanna live my life like

I don't want to be old and gray
Wishing I would have
Done all of the things I wanted to
When I was young, strong, and brave
So I'll
Take some risks
And live
Like I'll never have this chance again

And I don't got the time to worry 'bout a college degree
Or anything that's bothering me
And in fact, I was in love once
It didn't work the way I wanted
But I'd like to tell her
Along with all my good fellers
That I'll always love you all
And I hope when you applying for the job you get the call
And I hope you win a contest and get a new toaster
I hope that you can find a lot of time to ride your favorite rollercoaster
I hope you meet your favorite singer and he autographs your poster
And then you cap your night off with a little frozen yogurt
I hope that every time you stub your toe, the pain will pass quickly
I hope you get to be someone they teach about in history
I hope you never have to take another cold shower
I hope you always have the time to stop and smell the flowers
I hope you're one of few to save yourself from the friend zone
I hope you get to pick the quote engraven on your head stone
I hope you find a lover and you have a nice picnic
I hope you know you're beautiful without all of the lipstick
I hope you pet a llama and it makes you feel better
I hope the stains will come out of your favorite cotton sweater
I hope you live forever and you celebrate your birthdays
I hope you're celebrating all your days in the first place
But most of all I hope that you will have a good day
And you always have a reason to just stop yourself and say

I don't want to be old and gray
Wishing I would have
Done all of the things I wanted to
When I was young, strong, and brave
So I'll
Take some risks
And live
Like I'll never have this chance again

You know I've been doing this awhile and life can be a pain so
I never take the time to go put on a rain coat
'Cause I don't care if I get wet when we're all sailing in the same boat
Throw me overboard 'cause this is what I came for so
When I get the chance I'll probably tell my class
I'm still the same person I was and you're so welcome for the laughs
I hope you come and watch me ride the whales at the park
And I hope you find the joy in every journey you embark

(I have no intent to do anything negative to anyone
I only want, you know, more positive things to happen
So I just gotta wake up everyday and express myself
And go attack it)
