The sky shines with a silver light
Casting out the shadows and the darkness
Sparkling light jewels are the stars in it
Bright jewels at the bottom of a black lake

Bright is the north star
Shining over the land
Star of beauty and power
This star of white gold

For so long I was so wrong
To let you inside my head
I once thought if You left me
That I might as well be dead

Those weeks, those nights, those days we spent apart
Left me alone to heal my broken heart

But now that I'm free
I keep my head held high
Found what's right for me
I'm back in control of my life

Moved on now the pain's gone
You always had the best of me
What went wrong made me so strong
When You left... it set the captive free

You took my trust, my love for granted
Yet I still survived unlike you planned it

But now that I'm free
I keep my head held high
Found what's right for me
I'm back in control of my life

Coffee to sharpen our minds
***** to dull our senses
Meetings to shape our town
Dinners to mend the fences

Leaving our work at the door
Listening to our spouses *****
Looking down on a homeless dude
He don't know how tough it is

To keep up this ******* day after day
That's heroic man
When all you want to do is take off
And leave it all behind

Get on the open road
Born to be wild
Leave your stress and kids behind
**** this treadmill life

Where's my slice of glory?
Where's my name in lights?
Where my ***, Drugs and Rock and Roll!?
Where's my blinged out Nikes?

Where's my drugged out supermodel?
Where's my ******-full **?
How did life get so boring?
Man I just don't know.

****, time to pick up the kid from band practice!

I know my cause is hopeless
I know there is no winning this thing
I know I should pack my things and leave
And see what kindness the world brings

I am out gunned and over taxed,
Out maneuvered and out matched
I am out of luck, destitute and ******.
But I can still fight. I can do that much.

No one sends flesh and blood to fight by my side
I think they all wish I would just lay down and die

What the **** can I do?
When they are the head and I am the shoe.

I will fight,  I will fight
I will fight... until I die.

Because even the smallest dog
Fights when backed into a corner.

Innovations are dreams that have been realized.
The status quo is where dreams go to die.
