Ready And Willing
Embracing Challenges: The Anthem of Fearless Pursuit
Lyrics
I defied the odds
I faced challenges that seemed unlikely to overcome
Dead end cul-de-sacs gridded streets that felt like jail
Stuck in dead-end streets, resembling confinement
A maze of palm trees, led to nowhere
Navigating through a confusing environment with no clear direction
Built my own boat so I could sail
Created my own opportunities to move forward
They said "you won't make it
Others doubted my success
You're just wasting all your time"
Received criticism for investing time in my pursuits
But I've got no patience
Impatient and unwilling to wait in queues
And hate to stand in lines
Dislike waiting and prefer action
Oh, oh, I'm ready and I'm willing to take you on
Expressing readiness and willingness to face challenges
Oh, I'm ready and I'm willing to lose it all
Prepared to risk everything in the process
I'm ready, I'm ready
Reiteration of being ready
I'm ready, I'm ready
-I search the channels to find stations
Searching for inspiration in media from my youth
I used to watch when I was young
Recalling shows that were once enjoyable
Only to find a reality that's fine
Realizing that reality falls short of expectations
Settling for dumb
Settling for mediocrity
There's no more heroes
Heroes and role models are scarce
No one showing us the way
Struggling without guidance
So I sift through my old 45"s
Reflecting on the past through old music
To remind myself
Using music as a source of nostalgia and motivation
Oh, oh, I'm ready and I'm willing to take you on
Repeated expression of readiness and willingness
Oh, I'm ready and I'm willing to lose it all
-Oh, I'm ready and I'm willing to take you on
-Oh, I'm ready and I'm willing to lose it all
-When my back goes out, I'll know I did it all
Acknowledging a life filled with diverse experiences
And have stories to tell
Anticipating sharing stories from a fulfilling life
When my eyes go bad, I'll know I've seen it all
Accepting the inevitability of aging
They'll be light when my vision fails
Believing that memories will illuminate life's journey
My legs will go bad
Acknowledging the physical toll of a well-traveled life
But I walked 5 continents
Boasting about exploring five continents
So I won't need to stand
Confident that the past experiences will support me
I hope this life I lived will wake you up
Hoping that my lived experiences inspire others
So you could do it again
Encouraging others to embark on their own journeys
Oh, are you ready are willing to take you on
Asking if others are prepared and willing to face challenges
Oh, are you ready are you willing to lose it all
-Oh, are you ready are willing to take it on
-Oh, are you ready are you willing to lose it all
-I'm ready, I'm ready to take you on
Final assertion of personal readiness and willingness to take on challenges
I'm willing, I'm willing to lose it all
