When will I reach greatness?
Will she scorch and burn my eyes?
Will she cause me to move cities? She’s bound with light, I’m hypnotized
I hope she throws me in the fire, so that I do feel alive
I hope she steals all my self worth and leaves the ash behind
O greatness, I do beg you
I’ve been searching all my life
For a rhyme or a reason or a lesson to survive
O greatness, I do ask you
Shake my hands and wash my feet
Send me to the mountains just to toss me to the street
Teach me of the greatest loss so I can ask like children do
When will I reach greatness?
Let her romance ring untrue
