I get up to compose you another song again
Look, watching time go by makes you old in this game
I learned not to burn myself, I always walked in the fire
And I'd walk with you until I go blind
I have the soul of thirteen, from my first gig
I have my spirit intact after so many stones
I'm my hands writing when I earned nothing
I'm that first applause when nobody knew me
I've earned everything on my own with my soul and two lungs
Tagging the buses with that pair of markers
We didn't know about contracts, or dates or reactions
I knew how to leave my soul split for my songs
They all carry a fragment, I've left it around the world
I'm a tutorial on making the vagabond rich
I'm that sigh when late I ask myself
I'm all the laughs that we gave each other together
I know that nobody would believe me
But I'll die happy, I'm what Mom wanted
Friends from heaven will always be my guide
And as long as I have legs, I'll run from a cop
