Fame and glory

being young an' naive 

I was waiting

for my future's promised seeds 

not knowin'

where or when they would fall 

I wondered

would they ever fall at all

I was cast down 

yet getting stronger feelin'  stronger 

I was peakin' 

almost ready for any challenge

in my reach 

it was my seeds I was needin' 

they were nowhere in sight 

I decided I would be the seeds of my life

almost too late I thought 

I let them fall 

and when they were grown 

I harvested them 

day by day one by one

and they gave me what I had waited for

I rose to fame an' glory 

somethin' now

I can hardly understand 

I was needin'

at 

all
