Been a Long Ride Lyrics by Mr. Seuss

0

(Hook: Musick)
I said it’s been a long time coming
Targeting prestige I’ve been gunning
And it’s been a long ride wait
Faced with accolades I’m confronting
(Verse 1: Musick)
The praise from my loved ones that I hold dear
Legitimizing every last minute from the years
Applied to my passion consumed in my ears
Concealing every verse even from my close peers
Until it’s perfect it’s worth it but glitter isn’t gold
A glance behind the curtain can unveil what’s never told
Regardless if it’s will or if it’s fate it still unfolds
A few too many factors in this life we don’t control
Because setbacks can turn devoted vacant
Take an expert high up on his horse lock him deep inside his basement
And hoard his motivation no moving from this ruck
And glued into a doubt that will seem forever stuck
A star without it’s luck and a day without it’s dawn
A doe without a buck and a Jane without her John
Essentials to identify extracted and withdrawn
It’s hard to get a grip with a purpose seeming gone
But it’s not believe it’s temporary
I was seventeen with some juvenile charges that I buried
It’s nothing to be honored but the point I try making
Is any second chance is a chance worth taking
(Hook)
(Verse 2: Musick)
I was down and descending even lower
Thoughts lacking rational decisions with an absence of composure
Was absolutely sober through the hours of the days
But without an identity was feeling out of place
Cemented worst case that was all that could be seen
Nearly had a masterpiece and now it is debris
Prestige was the fate that was seeming wouldn’t come
But hitting rock bottom had my body feeling numb
So I summed every factor that left me hard pressed
And rode it as a motive until there was progress
Took every little step pushing limits I perceived
Not leaving any energy inside the tank to keep
And wouldn’t fall asleep if I didn’t give it all
Body full of guilt self pride awful small
So in the next day it was time to make a push
Seizing opportunities the passive never took
Couldn’t look to my past committed to an oath
To survive being blind to advancement in growth
Because seeing what is gained often leads to contentment
Opposing of the purpose to achieve what’s intended
