THIS GUY
This guy would like to sleep until he
opens his eyes.
This guy wants to encounter each day as
a big surprise.
Early in the morning when the alarm
rings, this guy has to rise.
Every day it's the same old routine
waiting for this guy.
This guy wants the wind in his face as
he rides down the road.
This guy wants to ride his bike where
men are men and they live by a code.
This guy has to play the hand he was
dealt and give it his best try.
His ride is to work and back, that's
the life for this guy.
This guy wants to be high in the sky
and spread his wings and fly.
This guy has places he wants to go and
things he wants to do before he dies.
But for this guy it's not in the stars
for him to be in the sky.
He is just meant to be on the ground
because there is nothing up there for this guy.
This guy wants to set his sails and not
worry about where he's going.
This guy wants to get out on the open
seas and just go where the wind is blowing.
This guy has his lines tied to the dock
and there are no sails to fly high.
There's only solid ground so there will
be no sea legs for this guy.
This guy wants to climb a mountain all
the way to the top.
This guy wants to climb one mountain
then another and another and never stop.
This guy is on the ground looking up
and asking why.
Not knowing which way is up or which
way is down, there is no climbing to the top for this guy.
This guy wants to be part of the
solution when there are lives to be saved.
This guy wants to get into the fracas
and be one of the brave.
This guy wants to be part of the truth
not part of the lie.
It seems like the more he tries to do
good, the more things turn bad for this guy.
This guy wants to find someone to love
and be loved, is that such a crime.
This guy wants someone he can have
forever, until the end of all time.
No matter how much he wants love, no
matter how hard he tries,
He’s going to get hurt because love
always turns bad for this guy.
This guy will not stop looking for that
special love.
This guy is always hoping he'll find
that love sent from above.
This guy is dreaming of finding someone
that won't make him cry.
He knows that somewhere out there that
special love is looking for this guy.
