READY FOR MY ROLE
As I Face The Future With Confidence
With My Back Against The Past
My Dog Days Have Faded
And I Am Having My Greatest Blast

After Years Of Casual Living
Inside Of My Safety Net
It Is Time For Me To Live
Among The Winning Set

No Longer Can I Wait
For Luck To Bring Me Fame
Gambling With My Future
Is A Losing Game

Being A Creature Of Habit
Following The Familiar Plans
Is A Losing Proposition
That Is Built On Shifting Sands

Long Leisure Days And Nights
The Times Of Joy And Fun
Were Good For My Walking Time
But Now I Like To Run

Catching Up Will Be Exciting
As I Travel The Rails And Trails
The Only Way My Ship Will Come
I Must Raise The Sails

Although My Journey Will Be Uncommon
I Will Make It Easy
It Is Difficult To Remain Steady
When The Hard Ground Is Greasy

I Have The Self-Confidence I Need
To Keep My Feelings High
My Firm Beliefs Will Sustain Me
Because I Know That I Can Fly

Fully Aware That The Road To Nirvana
Is Unpaved And Without Landmarks
Wisdom Is The Repellent I Wear
To Protect Me From The Sharks
As I Search For That Special Something
I Will Treasure My Golden Days
I Shall Make My Time Productive
By Discarding My Wasteful Ways

My New Role Will Require Discipline
New Tasks Are Often Tough
I Will Never Stop Enjoying My Life
Until I Have Had Enough
