about

You only live once - don't settle in life!

lyrics

Sitting at the table as you do just once a year
To compare, to reunite
You're the black sheep of the family, and your folks can't help but think
What went wrong, we did everything right

To your left's your older brother, he's got everything worked out
An architect by trade, a wife and kid that he's been dealt
On your right's your younger sister, she's worth her weight in gold
She's strolling right through law school, she's the favourite of us all

Then there's you, against the grain
You, out in the rain
You, gonna make a name
But they don't understand
You, you've thickened your skin
You, gonna sink or swim
You, going for the win
But they don't understand that

We are here to fly
We won't let dreams slip by
We will work to make a change
So our world can flip this page
So don't settle for less

The ones who do not settle are the ones who change the world
Pursue what you were born to, dig your heels into the dirt
There will always be the haters, they're afraid of the unknown
But they don't have the courage, happy in their comfort zones

Then there's you, against the grain
You, out in the rain
You, gonna make a name
But they don't understand
You, you've thickened your skin
You, gonna sink or swim
You, going for the win
But they don't understand that

We are here to fly
We won't let dreams slip by
We will work to make a change
So our world can flip this page
So don't settle for less
So don't settle for less
Don't settle for less
Don't settle for less

Cos there's you, against the grain
You, out in the rain
You, gonna make a name

Ant Utama Cologne, Germany

My name is Ant Utama, a singer-songwriter from New Zealand, now based in Germany. Back home I worked a 9-5 job in Marketing, in my comfort zone with the security of a steady income. I used to see music as an unattainable dream, but 18 months ago, against the wishes of my parents, I packed up what courage I could fit in a backpack and headed to Germany to follow my heart. ... more
