First I'll Take
It takes time to start believing
Why do I get this feeling
that a wave of heat is
washing over me
I'm trying to come together
Feeling under the weather
like I'm drowning in my
growing list of needs
By writing another chapter
I'll find what really matters
Hope that my thunder can
be reached easily
I'm searching the skies
for a lucky break
Still catching my breath
It's the first I'll take
Gonna wrestle the moon
wanting something more
I'm waiting for that knock on my door
Have to stop lying to myself
I am my own undoing
like a shoelace way too
short to be a noose
I shoot targets with icicles
My goals melt leaving riddles
with a puzzle piece
threatening to come loose
I'm moving forward like a train
dodging bullets of black rain
Anything but sunshine
I'm gonna refuse
I'm searching the skies
for a lucky break
Still catching my breath
It's the first I'll take
Gonna wrestle the moon
wanting something more
I'm finding strength to walk out the door
