Stay don’t move
Buckle up
Keep your hands and feet inside the ride
Take a sip
Take a lick
Pick a card

Take a chance
Learn to love
Read a book

Say hello
Say goodbye
Learn to laugh
Learn to cry

Stop to see the sights
Stop to see the lights
Take your time
Take a bite
Out of life that is

Because even though
These things may take 5 seconds
Make it count
