Think

People tell me that I think too much 

And that I'm lame 

But I tell them to shush 

They don't think enough 

And are scared to use their brains 

I can't help that I think so much 

It's just the way I am 

I have to know how and why 

And let my mind create 

And just be free 

I truly believe that a mind 

Is a terrible thing to waste 

And that knowledge is power 

If you stop thinking and learning 

You stop living 

And if you stop living 

You die 

You die just like a flower 

That doesn't get sunlight and water 

It's wilted and depressed 

Dead, a distressed mess

So tell me why would anyone want that 

So I 

I will continue to think and create

And will continue to believe that a mind 

Is a terrible thing to waste 

I will not die as long as my mind stays alive
