Tailwinds Lyrics

Start out, a ball of clay

Waiting to be shaped

Is it all just nature

A fate you can't escape?

The cards were dealt, the scene was set

Unique, yet unknown

Best of hope, for everyone

How quickly time has flown

Bedtime books, coaching praise

Those who had my back

Brother, sister, teacher, boss

Keep you on the track

It didn't have to be this way

It could have been much worse

Wisdom one should build upon

Fills the universe

Tailwinds and blue skies

Nothing to slow you down

Make the most of what you can

Before death comes around

15 Minutes passes quick

We all will cede the stage

Here's your cue, it's up to you

Key to coming of age

Lucky breaks and mentors

Lovers and confidants

Opportunity to stand on

The shoulders of giants

I wish you…

Tailwinds and blue skies

Nothing to slow you down

Make the most of what you can

Before death comes around

Nobody emerged fully formed

None became self-made all alone

All achievements spring from fertile soil

Help from those we know love and from others unknown

Don't confuse good prep for luck

Credit will find its due

Avail yourself of what you can in life

In all that you do

For what you pursue

Tailwinds got you through
