My life’s journey I don’t know when
God’s attorney might tell me then
Jump, (maybe) but dump the “maybes”
And tell me the impossible
I might not be that logical
Wings of angels I’ll never know
Things gold-plated…I gotta go
Run, the damage is done, I’ve managed to
Undermine my principles
So tell me I’m invincible
One small burden in life unkind
Chip on my shoulder no crying mine
With me you’ll manage without me take advantage
Take my name and throw it out
There’s more to what you’re all about
My sons’ journeys, they won’t know when
Burning ambitions might make them men
Jump! Babies and dump the “maybes”
Don’t tell them it’s impossible
And they may be the last to fall
One small wish that I hope they’ll find
Buried treasure was never mine (my peace of mind)
To me they’ll never be me that’s better.
Sorry I took for granted
The only things that counted yeah
hoping my boys will skip all of my idiocy and selfishness, but realizing my cultivation in their lives is but a small part
the piano part was the first thing i ever wrote on a piano, while i was in the navy..lyrics came much later, and this is actually one of the more recent things done in the studio...
