You say the sky is the limit
But it surely isn’t mine
You say I’m arrogant
But I say I’m confident
You say ‘Reach for the stars’
But I’m already out of the Milky Way
You say ‘Write it in the sand’
But I say edge it on the rock
You say I’m a liar
But I say our truths aren’t the same
You say I’m needy
But I say you’re greedy
You say I’m lost
But I say we aren’t on the same path
You say I’m off-beat
But I say we dance to different beats
You say I came last
But I say I ran a different race
You say ‘Don’t compare to the others’
But I say it’s my motivation
Do you know
I like you here
Do you know
You challenge me
Do you know
You counter me
But overall
You comfort me
Because without you
I’d have no victory
And with no victory
What would entertain me?
