[Verse 1] I defied the odds Dead end culdesaces, gridded streets that felt like jail Amaze of palm trees led to nowhere Built my own boat so I could sail They said you won't make it You're just wasting all your time But I've got no patience And hate to stand in lines [Chorus] Ohh I'm ready and I'm willing to take you on Ohh I'm ready and I'm willing to lose it all (I'm ready, I'm ready) (I'm ready, I'm ready) [Verse 2] I searched the channels to find stations I used to watch when I was young Only to find a reality that's fine settling for dumb There's no more heroes No one is showing us the way So I sift through my old 45's to remind myself [Chorus] Ohh I'm ready and I'm willing to take you on Ohh I'm ready and I'm willing to lose it all Ohh I'm ready and I'm willing to take you on Ohh I'm ready and I'm willing to lose it all [Bridge] When my back goes out I'll know I did it all And have stories to tell When my eyes go bad I'll know I've seen it all They'll be light when my vision fails My legs will go bad but I walked 5 continents So I won't need to stand I hope this life I lived will wake you up So you could do it again [Chorus] Ohh are you ready, are you willing to take you on Ohh are you ready, are you willing to lose it all Ohh are you ready, are you willing to take you on Ohh are you ready, are you willing to lose it all [Outro] I'm willing to lose it all
