Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stop me
And then came the rush of the flood
The stars at night turned you to dust
For the lack of the drugs
My faith had been sleeping
Once I wanted to be the greatest
When things I couldn't explain
For the lack of the drugs
My faith had been sleeping
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stop me
And then came the rush of the flood
The stars at night turned you to dust
And so I face the final curtain
I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and every highway
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
there were times I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
I've had my fills; my share of losing
I found it all so amusing
To say the things she truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows
