_ Steady as she goes, Lord only knows

Where I’ll end up, when I get there I will stand up

With my head held high telling no lies

Yes this is my life I lived it on my own terms

Not always what I wanted, but that’s how it turns

I got exactly what was comin’, ain’t life somethin’

If you blink you will miss it don’t be an idiot

You only get one ride on this merry-go-round

Don’t waste it on pride that’s lost and then found

You could have been gone a long time ago

But someone kept the light on and not just for show

There’s a reason you’re still here didn’t give in to your fears

Yeah, you messed up colossally, but that’s not all ya see

There’s two big things that you did right

So exit the pity party and keep up the fight

And remember

You got exactly what was comin’

Ain’t life somethin’

Awesome man, reminds me that today I gotta stand up to today's challenges no matter how hard or impossible - and the Lord does know, and He's right there with you for the battle. Keep it up bro!
