I’m on a role
I won’t pause now
You cannot stop me
No way no how

I’ve found my calling
If you will
My life’s ambition
My whole, my fill

It gives me hope
It gives me power
And with it I
Can always tower

It builds me up
Not break me down
It is my life
My true home town

I can talk freely
Using just this
Just pen and paper
And how I kiss

I kiss the ink
From which I grow
I kiss the pen
From which it flows

I’m free here now
Just like a bird
I soar and glide
Without a word

Interpret this
Oh how you will
I only hope
You take your fill

For life is short
And love is hard
And I love this
It is my start.
