Hi, how you doing, my name is Vino and I’m looking for something amazing

I don’t know if you have found it, but I would like to have it

So if you’re done with it, don’t throw it away, please just pass it along

Now I know it might sound weird, maybe even wrong

But no one ever told me that I could be exceptional

No one ever told me that I could have something amazing

All they ever told me was that I could be a man

All they ever saw in my future is that I could be a grown up

Go to school, get a degree, get a job, earn money, start a family and live happily ever after

I went to school, I got my bachelor’s degree, matter of fact I got two

But I wasn’t able to get a job, so I was unable to follow through

So what was I supposed to do?

Sit here waiting, I couldn’t do that, so I decided to look for something amazing

Because school is nothing more than an old concept made to prepare you

For jobs that are no longer relevant

Most schools kill creativity, and make outcasts out of anyone unique

Imagination isn’t needed when you need to remember things you will never use

Before looking at what you could learn, look at what you could lose

My fantasy used to flow through my pen

Until I was told that my desk wasn’t made for drawing

Exactly when did we tell our children that dreaming is such a bad thing

Creativity isn’t necessary for the system you are going in

So get rid of it, instead learn numbers and white history

Chasing your passion isn’t what they teach, and that is insanity

Youre not supposed to get amazing in this world we live in

You’re supposed to get standard, normal, you must be ordinary

But what they don’t tell you is that those who don’t become legendary

Give me back the world I saw when I was a child

When possibilities where left and right

And you didn’t get killed after a fight

Tomorrow isn’t what it used to be

The future seems less bright, damn near empty

But I’m certain something amazing will fill it right back up

So I’m looking through every corner of creativity it might hide in

While those around me, keep telling me I need to grow up

But is acting like a kid really such a bad thing

Kids love their life

How many adults can say the same thing

Desperately clinging to any sense of safety

Working at a job they hate

Studying a profession they don’t even know if they want

Waiting for something amazing to slap them in the face

And give them all the answers they were waiting for

But I can’t wait anymore

I’m looking for it

So if you have something amazing, no matter what it is

Cherish it, because so many of us are wandering, lost, chasing something they can’t define

Simple because someone told them to leave that possibility behind

But I’m not giving up, I’m not chasing a dream, I’m working towards a goal

Leaving everything behind, till I cross that unseen finish line

Then I will look back with my soul still intact

And with a smile on my broken face

But till that day, I will stand here screaming

I’m looking for something amazing

Does anyone here have it for me

No, then I guess I will have to keep looking

Vino
