I always tell people to do what you love But what about me though am I truly in touch More often than not I'm walking off in the dark No clue on who I am but I continue to march I said left to the right to the left again When can I ever rest these heavy limbs I've come too far or have I gone too far Back and forth I battle on in this war So when the wind's inexplicably blowing strong I need to hold on hold my soul in my arms And when the rain falls and it's pouring a storm I just tilt my chin up and open my arms And when I cross mountain tops cliffs and rocks The hardest part about the climb is uplifting my heart And if I try and try and I trip and I fall It's alright y'all I'm alright y'all I tried and tried sometimes I could not fly the way the crowd would Don't know why I don't mind but I did do all that I could Some might say say I caved in say I gave up called me shameful But I stuck to my gut and laid it all on the table It goes one for the money two for job security Three for the catholic nuns who put the fear in me Four for the branches of the family tree Every refugee uprooted who abandoned a dream Felt them hand it to me put it on my generation Pennies tens and twenties put it all on education Soldiers of war who knew the top would destroy us If we didn't raise an army full of doctors and lawyers Hey I see how the sentiment arises Prepare for the worse so ain't nothing would surprise us Can you tell I was raised by a general Who turned into a minister because the world is sinister In simpler times maybe the road is less treacherous And doing what you love is something more effortless But nevertheless I would never regret What's expected of me in my destiny manifest I tried and tried sometimes I could not fly the way the crowd would Don't know why I don't mind but I did do all that I could Some might say say I caved in say I gave up called me shameful But I stuck to my gut and laid it all on the table
