Save It For Another Day

I'll study to pass the bar, Flash lawyer in my own company. My office on the top floor, Gold name plaque on my door, Win cases to jail the guilty. I know that it's my reach but you say, "Save it for another day." I'll drive in a racing car, Win trophies and be world champion. A couple of ugly dogs, That live on my superyachts. Big crashes but come to no harm. I know that it's my reach but you say, "Save it for another day." I'll open a cocktail bar, I'll live in a house in Palm Beach. Go round in a limousine, Like I'm in a movie scene, More sex than a coked-up porn star, I know that it's my reach but you say, "Save it for another day." I'm not just a wannbe Why don't you listen to me There's somewhere that I need to be I could be a visionary Start acting like a bloody grown-up, These things are all fallacies. Stand up straight and get your hair cut, You can't earn money in a fantasy I'll walk on the moon and Mars, Launch rockets from Cape Canaveral. Go round in the ISS, Humanity at its best, See planets and far away stars, I know that it's in my reach, then you say, "Go on young man. I know you can."
“I was playing around with writing interesting music using as few chords as possible with no real intention of turning it into a song. I liked what I’d achieved and said to myself that I’d save it for another day.
This sparked an idea for a song about an ambitious young boy and his even more ambitious father, who wouldn’t settle until his son’s dreams reached for the stars, literally.”
