Long enough in the confounded land
Where all my plans will not stand
And things will not work out as planned
For doubt is secreted by my gland,
I will have to change my thoughts
And be changed from now on
Long enough by the lazy sea
Where complain has been my tea
And I am conquered by strengthless bee
For from my challenges I do flee
I will have to build my strengths
And be built from now on
Long enough on this mat I sleep on
Where vain men have been my companion
And I have been a local champion
For I desire to be a global icon
I will have to show my real stuff
And be shown from now on
Long enough at this thinking lake
Where I plan the ways to take
And just stand with the weeds, with my rake
For I have a name I must make
I will have to make a move
And be made great from now on
Long enough on this listening sit
Where you hear how I won't fall into pit
And you get stink bit by bit
For it is time you need to be fit
I desire that you take this personal
And be taken up from now on
