You believe this life is enough for you
I tried, but it is not enough for me
I want that cake and eat it too
Be as happy as I can be
I need excitement and danger now
Flying high, putting myself out there
Not caring at all when where and how
And you’re right, it isn’t fair
They tell me I should retire soon
Enjoy the few years that remain
But I want to dance to a different tune
Drive wildly on the fastest lane
Disregard what is safe to play
Golf and bridge are not my game
I might settle down another day
To do it now would be a shame
Life has so much more in store
Adventures I don’t want to miss
I am a bird and want to soar
Live in happiness and bliss
Venture outside my comfort zone
Even try to live on razor’s edge
All this I have to do alone
But I will be back, I pledge
