Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

Punching the sky every day Rise when the alarm abruptly sounds Hope that opportunity knocks Nemesis sow seeds of doubt Leaves me feeling shell-shocked Confident I think I got it all figured out With help from osmosis Sift through the crap hit the safety valve Then put on Aegis Scream race from the inferno Turn left turn right go straight Which way do I go As I grow older I lift this boulder With strength I chip it away Standing on the Shoulders of Giants Punching the sky everyday As life gets colder flames they smolder Climb so I can survey Standing on the Shoulders of Giants Punching the sky everyday Nectar of the Gods taste bittersweet Not out of the mire yet Got to be a badass to take the heat Not be saddled with mounting debt (forget) Wolf appears with a nice wool coat Draws me in with a smile Rid myself of this spare change And that’s how I reconcile Scream race from the inferno Turn left turn right go straight Which way do I go (I know) As I grow older I lift this boulder With strength I chip it away Standing on the Shoulders of Giants Punching the sky everyday As life gets colder flames they smolder Climb so I can survey Standing on the Shoulders of Giants Punching the sky everyday All these birds Are coming home to roost To fly in my face Or to maybe give me a boost Measure the man the amount of grit Every ounce or send me adrift Ain’t no thorn in my side I cannot expel Juggernaut of a stone moves well Cause I know As I grow older I lift this boulder With strength I chip it away Standing on the Shoulders of Giants Punching the sky everyday As life gets colder flames they smolder Climb so I can survey Standing on the Shoulders of Giants Punching the sky everyday Punch away
