Where Everything Would Be Just Fine

I used to wanna be a cowboy who rides off into the sunset With her lovin’ eyes on me a sight so hard to forget Sometimes I’d be an astronaut goin’ where no one’s gone before Or a doctor saving lives no need to say anymore I’d rescue damsels from burning three story balconies Who’d kiss me all over without any formalities I’d be a lawman or a brave fighter of all kinds of fires And girls would love me up forever inspired Movie or rock star yeah this boy could be it all I can surely see the writin’ up there on that wall It’s all as it was meant to be I can be a hero so easily Just take myself to a place and time Where everything would be just fine Where everything would be just fine As time goes by it’s harder to conjure up all the thunder Or lose myself in thought and all that sheer wonder Never wantin’ to think or be wishin’ any of it away Then, BANG, I see that writin’ it down just may be the way Movie or rock star yeah this boy could be it all I can surely see the writin’ up there on that wall It’s all as it was meant to be I can be a hero so easily Just take myself to a place and time Where everything would be just fine Movie or rock star yeah this boy could be it all I can surely see the writin’ up there on that wall It’s all as it was meant to be I can be a hero so easily Just take myself to a place and time Where everything would be just fine Where everything would be just fine Just fine…..

"Writin' it down" is indeed the way. I think in this you have outlined the path to desire and fulfillment. Great write Shawn!
