Ready To Steer - Icicle

I've come here to win
I left behind my twin
Told him gotta go
Got important things to do

No one to answer to
I play it by my rules
Gamble all or none
Is for me to do alone

I tell it like it is
I have no one to please
I am not a tease
Never have nor will be

You get what you see
My heart is on my sleeve
I wear it on with pride
Everywhere I stride

My mind is clear
I'm ready to steer

My mind is clear
I'm ready to steer

Buried my sins away
I've come here to stay
I've come to seize the day
With no one in my way

My past I left behind
Right where it belongs
I left my demons blind
I'll be a hard man to find

I've come to redeem
Regain my self-esteem
Start it all from scratch
I'll be a hard man to match

My strength has been my foe
But that will be no more
For I have come to know
Weakness also feeds the soul

My mind is clear
I'm ready to steer

My mind is clear
I'm ready to steer

Many moons ago
I was just like you
I listened to my twin
As if he were my king

I lost my soul and touch
All my friends and such
No load was too much
Till the straw cracked my back

I had to face the fact
Nothing was intact
So I made a pact
Break free or break down

My twin sobbed and frowned
Begged me on his knees
Cursed me with his pleas
As I was leaving town

My mind is clear
I'm ready to steer

My mind is clear
I'm ready to steer

I've come to hear the wind
Open wide my wings
I've come to seize the day
Yes, I'm here to stay

No one to answer to
I play it by my rules
Gamble all or none
Is for me to do alone

I tell it like it is
I have no one to please
I am not a tease
Never have nor will be

You get what you see
My heart is on my sleeve
I wear it on with pride
Everywhere I stride

My mind is clear
I'm ready to steer

My mind is clear
I'm ready to steer

My mind is clear
I'm ready to steer

My mind is clear
I stand right here
