Lyrics
The Constant
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I will graciously accept that my life’s work, whether it be
In the past, the present, or the future will be overshadowed by those around me
With a different definition of “success.”
Though I can’t explain the path I’ve chosen,
All I know is I’m right where I need to be.
And though I’ve turned down a chance at fame and fortune,
I know that there is no greater payment than this.
And I’m so fucking far from the life
I’m supposed to lead, and the man
I’m supposed to be and I couldn’t be happier.
And I will remain a constant,
I know where I stand,
And I refuse to let their selfishness take control of who I am.
While I may die poor,
At least my life had meaning,
There’s more to life than living and I truly feel alive.
And I know that when I die,
There will be others who feel the same way ready to take my place.
This is our song of protest.
I promise you that nothing is slowing us down.
While I may die poor,
At least my life had meaning,
There’s more to life than living and I truly feel alive.
And I know that when I die,
There will be others who feel the same way ready to take my place.
I will laugh in the face of those who tell me different.
Even with both of my feet planted firmly on the ground,
I am free to move in my own direction.
I will remain a constant.
I know where I stand.
