I defied the odds Dead end cul-de-sac gridded streets that felt like jail A maze of palm trees, led to nowhere Built my own boat so I could sail They said, you won’t make it You’re just wasting all your time But I’ve got no patience And hate to stand in lines Ohh I’m ready and I’m willing to take you on Ohh I’m ready and I’m willing to lose it all I search the channels to find stations I used to watch when I was young Only to find a reality that’s fine Settling for dumb There’s no more heroes No one showing us the way So I sift through my old 45”s To remind myself. When my back goes out, I’ll know I did it all And have stories to tell. When my eyes go bad, I’ll know I’ve seen it all They’ll be light when my vision fails My legs will go bad But I walked 5 continents So I won’t need to stand I hope this life I lived will wake you up So you could do it again Are you ready are you willing to take it on? Are you ready are you willing to lose it all?
