[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
