How can I know you, when I’ve lost myself somewhere in this transition
I used to be somebody I knew even to you.
That person is gone washed away with all the rest: my family my roles my nest.
An adolescent again at midlife it all seemed so romantic before the leap
There’s no return from this flight I’m committed
to what?
an asylum? a journey? a hero? who’s calling? who’s called?
I guess it makes sense given I missed the first one forever young all this time
this is my chance to do it right?
Gotta grow up someday somewhere somehow
And when I do I will have superpowers or so the myth goes
so I’ll just relax and enjoy the ride because I’ve got everyone on my side.
We all love this story we all had our chance and this is mine again
I won’t let you down I’ll fight the battles cross the seas and bring the world to its knees
I’ll do it all for you and me you’ll see.
