Icicle - Ready To Steer lyrics

I've come here to win I left behind my twin Told him gotta go Got important things to do No one to answer to I play it by my rules Gamble all or none Is for me to do alone I tell it like it is I have no one to please I am not a tease Never have nor will be You get what you see My heart is on my sleeve I wear it on with pride Everywhere I stride My mind is clear I'm ready to steer My mind is clear I'm ready to steer Buried my sins away I've come here to stay I've come to seize the day With no one in my way My past I left behind Right where it belongs I left my demons blind I'll be a hard man to find I've come to redeem Regain my self-esteem Start it all from scratch I'll be a hard man to match My strength has been my foe But that will be no more For I have come to know Weakness also feeds the soul My mind is clear I'm ready to steer My mind is clear I'm ready to steer Many moons ago I was just like you I listened to my twin As if he were my king I lost my soul and touch All my friends and such No load was too much Till the straw cracked my back I had to face the fact Nothing was intact So I made a pact Break free or break down My twin sobbed and frowned Begged me on his knees Cursed me with his pleas As I was leaving town My mind is clear I'm ready to steer My mind is clear I'm ready to steer I've come to hear the wind Open wide my wings I've come to seize the day Yes, I'm here to stay No one to answer to I play it by my rules Gamble all or none Is for me to do alone I tell it like it is I have no one to please I am not a tease Never have nor will be You get what you see My heart is on my sleeve I wear it on with pride Everywhere I stride My mind is clear I'm ready to steer My mind is clear I'm ready to steer My mind is clear I'm ready to steer My mind is clear I stand right here
