Courage, Heart and Soul

I knew that I tripped and fell
When I come back up, I'll have a tale to tell
Well, this is my first time writing in a while,
And I hope it comes out all in style.

Hey, we came here to have a good time tonight,
Now I'm having you all listen to my thoughts
We all have a dream in life,
Some achieve more, some take it with a knife
If you are listening, just know you can do it on your own,
If you have the Courage, Heart and Soul

I was once a kid with big dreams,
Pretending I'd be the next Wayne Gretzky
Always on the block with a stick and puck,
If you came around then you would have seen what was up

I'll never make it in the NHL
So, I began focusing on what else could ring a bell
I picked up a pen and paper made this,
My story from a Vapor.

I always tried my best to impress,
But life's just one big old mess
You do what you have to do to get by,
The only thing changing is the time


Hey, we came here to have a good time tonight,
Now I'm having you all listen to my thoughts
We all have a dream in life,
Some achieve more, some take it with a knife
If you are listening, just know you can do it on your own,
If you have the Courage, Heart and Soul

I wish to see myself at an old age,
With a nice lady by my side
Telling her about my experiences
On life's grand stage

She'd always have my back no matter what
And inside her head, damn, she'd be a nut
Out in public she'd present herself nicely
And would always have a minute to whip me up some ice tea

Holding my hand through it all,
She will always be my safety net for me to fall
We'll plan to have our graves side by side
Even in the afterlife, we will be alright


Hey, we came here to have a good time tonight,
Now I'm having you all listen to my thoughts
We all have a dream in life,
Some achieve more, some take it with a knife
If you are listening, just know you can do it on your own,
If you have the Courage, Heart and Soul
