Setting Sail

I've been told that I'm making a big mistake
I'm throwing my life away for nothing

I've been told I can't do everything I set out to do
I'm gonna do this just to prove it to you
You're just a hoop that I'm jumping through

I'm sick and tired of hearing all the ways that it could fail
I'm setting sail for something big
I know what that entails
I know it won't be easy but I'm a sucker for pursuit
Discouragements are nothing more
Than fuel to find the truth

about this world
and what I need to keep living in it
so I'm not gonna waste a minute

I've been told that I'll never make a name for myself
My life will culminate with dust on a shelf
and that I'm lost and that I need to find help


I'm sick and tired of hearing all the ways that it could fail
I'm setting sail for something big
I know what that entails
I know it won't be easy but I'm a sucker for pursuit
Discouragements are nothing more
Than fuel to find the truth

about this world
and what I need to keep living in it
so I'm not gonna waste a minute

Now I stand
painting pictures with the broad stroke of my hand
It's finally a prize within my grasp
and my ambition's going nowhere fast
