The key to life
Or so I've found
Is knowing when life is beckoning
Grabbing hold of fate and chance
And facing down your reckoning
You don't know when
Or in what form
Or just how you should respond to it
But all I can say
Is that you must be prepared
And then you must
You must bond to it
You see, every time I write a song
I'm stepping through a door
Don't know what is on the other side
But I bet it's something I can't ignore
Now you must face your deepest fears
Or at the very least say
You're not afraid
If you do that
You're not just half way there
You are at the head of the parade
I would rather hide myself away
And I would rather not be brave
And I would rather go to sleep
The key to life
Or so I've found
Is being wide awake and at the ready
Pulling your head
Out of your ass
So your vision's clear and your hands are steady
