I see myself reaching for the highest branch
On that hundred year old tree,
And perching myself up there
To look at the world beneath
But they say, "Irrational are such dreams."
I see that wave hitting the huge rock
And falling back.
It keeps coming back, trying again
That perhaps someday it'll make it to the shore
But they say, "Hopeless are such hopes."
I see the nightingale sailing
Through the wide azure,
Singing a song that could
Bring the dead alive.
But they say, "Improper is such music."
I search for a life in his eyes
Even as I yearn for it to end.
Time files by, stealing with it
For what i crave.
But they say, "Worthless is such a life."

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't 'bout how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!"
