Future set in stone, afraid I'm on my own You said you'd wait up, I'm on my way up Down in new Orleans, we'll see all of our friends A song you made up It takes courage, it takes courage A poem It takes courage, it takes courage You saw a glimmer in my eye When I said I blew up all my pride Take a breath, don't do it, we could see you through it Flow with all the turns, chaos, a slow burn Be a peaceful taker, real life money maker I'm on my way up It takes courage, it takes courage A song you made up It takes courage, it takes courage You saw a glimmer in my eye When I said I blew up all my pride
