You say you can't find love
Or a job that works for you
Could be that your parents make you blue
You do all you could do, all you can do

Monotone lectures drive you up the wall
You fight to heed the call, you just don't care
You know there's something just around the bend
You're desperate for a friend, you cry out in prayer

If what you're doing seems a waste of time
Then leave it all behind (leave it all behind)
Synchronize your life with what you love
And be your own design
Be your own design

You left home full of promises
Full of hope and future dreams
But now the road seems not so very clear
You wonder what to do, what to do

If what you're doing seems a waste of time
Then leave it all behind (leave it all behind)
Synchronize your life with what you love
And be your own design
Be your own design

Be the teacher
Hear the preacher
Seize the moment
Your time is now

If what you're doing seems a waste of time
Then leave it all behind
Synchronize your life with what you love
And be your own design

If what you're doing seems a waste of time
Then leave it all behind (leave it all behind)
Synchronize your life with what you love
And be your own design (be your own design)

If what you're doing seems a waste of time
Then leave it all behind (leave it all behind)
Synchronize your life with what you love
And be your own design
Be your own design

If what you're doing seems a waste of time
Then leave it all behind (leave it all behind)
Leave it all behind
Synchronize your life with what you love
And be your own design (be your own design)
Be your own design
