Of Unrealistic Ambitions

Since you were born

Raised to believe

That one day you’ll be the one

But time has moved

No mother’s kid

But from the big cake you get none

You’re waiting behind, moving in the wake

Of the sharp and the strong

You’re waiting for one single chance to move up

When some of them goes wrong

And time has come

To take your chance

To score before they can defend

You hesitate

You realize

All you can be is helping hand

You find yourself looking at all your dreams

Of the glory and the grace

Responsibility that comes with all this

Is not what you dare to face

Your reflection in the mirror

Just a sad grin of dream hero

And so have you learned where you stand

Where you can find the way

If you can’t be the one

How to get your share of sun...

It’s never a shame to know where is the line

How far to go, how much to make

To understand your own limits and your strength

Lift only weight that you can take

Respect your achievements

Small as they may feel

Better be a dreamer

Than to be a bad king

Beware of self-pity

Be proud of yourself

Everyone’s unique

So don’t try to be someone else

And so have you learned where you stand

Where you can find the way

If you can’t be the one

How to get your share of sun...

Wipe the tears from your face

Try run your own race

Look around and take the sum

There is sun for everyone
