Had It All
I've got no backup
No safety netting
So why am I betting
These kind of stakes?

It’s so confusing
Winning or losing
I've made so many mistakes

My work is cut out
It needs my best now
I just can't guess how
It will unfold

Got to work through it
If I can just do that
I’ll say I always knew that
I had it all

There's ground to cover
I've barely scratched it
And once you catch it
That fever grows

So many loners
So many late-bloomers
So many rumors nobody knows
My work is cut out
It needs my best now
I just can't guess how
It will unfold

Got to work through it
If I can just do that
I'll say I always knew that
I had it all

But am I me yet?
Sometimes I see it
Sometimes feel like a genius and still so far to go
Why am I not free yet
Of all this doubting?
My mind keeps shouting and it never gets a sore throat

My work is cut out
It needs my best now
I just can't guess how
It will unfold

Got to work through it
If I can just do that
I'll say I always knew that
I had it all
