Success

Like a mouse to cheese
I hope they bite -
I'm trying and prying
with all my might...

Like a dolphin in a wave
I'll ride it out -
I've fought the good fight
I have no doubt...

Like an answer to a prayer
laid on my step -
I'm catching raindrops
without getting wet...

Like climbing a mountain
to reach the top -
You can't ever get there
if you stop.

Ace

My life hasn't been
a bed of roses -
but I've felt the thorns...

My eyes haven't
evaded tears -
that can pour like a storm...

The lesson is living
with the cards you're dealt -
when you are born,

Turning defeat into
a victory -
praise from scorn.

Foghorn

I'm looking for my ship
I hope it comes in -
then this life of mine
can finally begin...

the light might be a tunnel
the light might be a train -
but it just might be a beacon
if I try in vain...

Stardust from heaven
roses for the way -
hoping with such passion
all I do is pray...

try with your heart
think with your head -
and watch as your ship
comes full speed ahead.
