Once upon a time far far away On a lil' blue rock way out in space There once was a place known as planet Earth It was home to the birthplace of this verse Had the hand which it came then belong to a man Who was all but a boy with a pen and a plan That would span many sands on demand his command Touch fans that relate with thoughts he had Expand closed minds giving sight to the blind Ascend and incline elevate the divine Combine the divide that exists inside Remove the disguise from which we hide Behind in attempt to save some pride From the lies of a life which man describes As unfair sad cruel and hard With some surprise that might be far From what real truth might truly be Perspective is the missing link Thoughts far beyond what sights can see Behold that key unto our dreams You can achieve anything that you want So long as yourself believe that thought Loss shall be forgot when faith is strong That path that you walk won't feel so long Pain shall be forgot when faith is strong That path that you walk won't feel so long Not long like at all but short and swift So quick that you might even just miss These sights that reside alongside of the way Like the hue of the leaves or the smell of the rain Like fine grains that reside on a beach Or cool blades of grass underneath our feet There you see he gave it his all Every day of the year winter spring summer fall Breaking down every wall that reside in his way With a whole lot of rage and whole lot of pain Lying deep down inside he would place on the page Let it all out the mind leave it all on the stage Light it all up in flames taking note of his name He became everything that he set out to claim Traveled the globe preaching words that he wrote To some folks in desperate need of hope Each and every show he gave it his life Every time that he placed his hands on the mic He became most alive and then in time Had a couple of kids with one beautiful wife Some cried when he died but he's not gone His soul will live on within this song Why do I try? So hard to be loved? So much to be liked? Why do I care? How they feel when i'm gone? Their thoughts while i'm here? Where will I go? Where will I find my place? When will I have a home? Why am I here? To love and uplift inspiration and cheer Up all the ones that you hold dear Shear your career but be sincere Adhere to the near and persevere Revere in the here not then but now Make them believe then ask but how Frontier pioneer hows that sound Theres nothing to fear we're otherground
