A GIANT AND A CHILD AND A REBEL.
BELOVED RESTLESS SIGHT.
A FLASH OF LIFE RIP ROARING 'ROUND A MOUNTAIN.
MAYBE JAMES HAD IT RIGHT
AS HE SPENT HIS TIME BEATING OUT THE REASON
TO ENGAGE HIS RESTLESS LIFE.
HE SAID, "DREAM AS IF YOU MIGHT LIVE FOREVER.
LIVE FOR TODAY 'CAUSE YOU MAY DIE."

SO I'LL POP MY COLLAR LIKE I'M WORTH A MILLION DOLLARS TODAY.
AND I'LL TAKE THAT BIG STEP FROM MY FATHERS WHO KEPT ME GROUNDED.

YOU MUST THINK MY WAXEN WINGS ARE GROUNDED.
THEY'RE JUST HARDENING FOR THE FLIGHT.
AND THE IRONY IS BURNING ME TO CINDERS INSIDE.
'CAUSE I'M JUST A FLASH OF LIFE SPEEDING 'ROUND A MOUNTAIN
AND I THINK JAMES HAD IT RIGHT.

SO I'LL POP MY COLLAR LIKE I'M WORTH A MILLION DOLLARS TODAY.
AND I'LL TAKE THAT BIG STEP FROM MY FATHERS WHO KEPT ME GROUNDED.
