Ambition
You’re all I have

Mum’s sick on the phone
It’s warm here
Over there it’s cold

My wife and two kids
Are yet to come home

That middle man
To help execute my plan
Has yet to shake my hand

My sister’s kids are running
On new land
Dad’s gone
And I’m a man

All of a sudden
Out of my hands

Ambition
You’re my compass in this life
And if I didn’t have so much
Death wouldn’t be an obstacle

May no part of me die in the shadows
May no part of me go out quietly

I’m singing and each note is a victory
The flame I’ve been given is burning bright

Ambition
You’re all I have
