Story Behind The Song
Daya used to work for a major electrical engineering company as a temporary office worker. She found many people were unhappy with their decision to be there so she wrote the basic words to this song as a way to inspire them to follow their dreams. This was done while on break or during downtime. Chris helped her with finishing the words and music.

Lyrics
Chorus:
Make up your mind, make up your mind, do what you want to.
Do what you want, do what you want, do what you want to.
Your dream is calling to you to catch it if you can.
I've seen it waiting for you exactly where you stand
Some will have advice to give you of what is best for you
Just listen to what you hear then you'll know what's true.
Chorus
Make up your mind, make up your mind, do what you want to
Do what you want to, do what you want, do what you want to.
Bridge:
Watch the man who's giving all his love away,
He takes time for living, giving love each day.
See the children playing, Laughter fills the air
Look at how they love life, living without care -
Without care
Chorus
