about

This song was created during a Monty Harper songwriting residency at Skyline Elementary School in Stillwater, Oklahoma, May 2015.

lyrics

You've got your life planned out
You're gonna do great things
Without a doubt
You're gonna spread your wings
When opportunity strikes, it's not to be missed
Are you ready to take that risk?

Whacha gonna do, whacha whacha gonna do?
Whacha gonna do, whacha whacha gonna do?
Hey kids, Whacha gonna do to make your dreams come true?

You're gonna go to school
You're gonna get good grades
Cause you're no fool
Don't let your future fade
Gotta be brave; No time to fear
Your life is whispering in your ear

Whacha gonna do, whacha whacha gonna do?
Whacha gonna do, whacha whacha gonna do?
Hey kids, Whacha gonna do to make your dreams come true?
Whacha gonna do to make your dreams come true?

When you feel really stressed and you're angry and annoyed
When you're sad and depressed 'cause you fell into a void
Don't forget
Don't forget
You are an unbreakable force
You'll take charge of your future's course

Whacha gonna do, whacha whacha gonna do?
Whacha gonna do, whacha whacha gonna do?
Hey kids, Whacha gonna do to make your dreams come true?
Whacha gonna do to make your dreams come true?
