No one ever said to me that I should write a symphony
But write and now I've wrote it, and the days are growing longer
No hint of allegation, or trouble with my patience
And everyone's been mangling my mane
I took time to work it out at seats of higher learning
But I never understood a single thing that they said to me
Except, "Son, you know you think you've got a chance, but let me tell you,
We've worked her out and you've come here to fail".
Friend, don't you know, I've got thoughts that I'm scared of
Guidance from me is a thing to beware of
Get it on, bang a gong
Every single person who has told you that you couldn't
Lives in fear that you'll achieve the things in life they think you shouldn't
Unparalleled aggression, unswerving in direction (indirection?)
And that was why they set my hair on fire
You worked out the best of it, and I worked out the rest of it
And finally solutions fell around us like an autumn
We were wrong, and we were right a bit
We laughed, and then we cried a bit
I'll tell you now, I've not been born to fail
Friend, don't you know, I got these eyes from crying
You are depraved, I salute you for trying
When I'm gone, you take my song
No one ever said to me that I should write a symphony
But write and now I've wrote it and the days are growing longer
No hint of allegation, or trouble with my patience
And everyone's been laying off my mane
Friend, don't you know, I've got thoughts that I'm scared of
Guidance from me is a thing to beware of
Friend, don't you know, I got these eyes from crying
You are depraved, and I love you for trying
When I'm wrong, bring it on
