Why do I compare myself to my peers?
They've seen the world
And I'm stuck here
Felt so stagnant for the past nine years
I try to stay grounded
And keep my mind,
Clear.
My lack of traction always leaves me with fear
My fathers words they always ring in my ears.
My lack of traction always leaves me with fear
My fathers words they always ring in my ears!
Keep your head up son
You will find your reason.
(Find your reason)
Pay no attention to those
That act complacent.
Follow your heart, don't ever
Change with the seasons.
(Change with the seasons)
The oxen may be slow,
But the Earth is patient.
I built my vessel
Embarking the seas
To find the things that I dream
Finding a reason,
A reason to breathe.
I live in doubt
But I want to believe.
Horizon tides, keep my sights
Aimed toward the skies.
(Aimed toward the skies)
My path was paved, right before
My own eyes,
Embrace the sounds
That sculpts my souls design.
(Souls design)
Painting this canvas
With the words from my mind,
This is my Ikigai.
This is my Ikigai.
This is my Ikigai.
This is the reason that I,
I am alive.
Keep your head up son
You will find your reason.
(Find your reason)
Pay no attention to those
That act complacent.
Follow your heart, don't ever
Change with the seasons.
(Change with the seasons)
The oxen may be slow
But the Earth,
The Earth is patient.
Embrace the sounds
That sculpts my souls design,
Painting this canvas
With the words from my mind,
This is my Ikigai.
