I don't mind hurting like a Mother, with a cross on my back I carry the weight of the world all day Steady I'm walking right into the black With miles to go and a night that might freeze If you don't think I'm living You underestimate me All of the time I've wasted, tracking the stars Planning my way in good company I stopped a-sailing before I went too far Jumped in the water and sank to the deep If you don't think I'm moving You underestimate me So just leave me something for drinking when the party is done And I'll make no promises I can't keep I've always lost more than I've ever won But it's a quiet revolution we live so it seems If you don't think I'm ready You underestimate me If you don't think I'm ready You underestimate me
