Teaching Mandolin
One day
I’ll take on the world
And if I succeed I’ll get all I deserve

One day
I’ll be higher than all of you
Floating above in my new perfect life

One day
I’ll find someone just for me
Someone who’ll wrap me up when I’m feeling sad

One day
This will all work out
This kink in my brain won’t keep me down

But now
I’ll see all that I can do
Wishing the best for those I left behind

But now
I’m stronger than all of you
I’ll persevere and I’ll keep going on

I know
I’ll have a boy teach me mandolin
Take me aboard his sermon of care
I know
That this too shall pass
I have nothing to fear I have nothing to fear
