If I knew I couldn’t fail
Would I still be living this life
Or would I make all of the decisions
I only dream about at night
Would I risk it all to chase the vision
Of me on the brightest stage
Would the books that exist in my head
Finally make it on the page
Would I sing if it meant a Grammy
Would I want Mr. President next to my name?
Would I like to be a world champion
If all I had to do was pick the game?
I would always get it right
So there’d be no need to think twice
The only question I’d have to ask myself
Is what is it I like?
What is it I want?
What makes me happy everyday?
The outcomes already guaranteed
So all I’d have to do is play
All the pressure would be gone
I’d be free to just be me
But it doesn’t feel like a realistic thing
To believe unfortunately
So maybe I’ve got the question wrong
Like a dog chasing its tail
Maybe the inquiry I should have
Is what I’d do if I knew I’d fail
If I knew it wouldn’t work
No matter how hard I tried
How would I choose to spend
The remainder of my life
What is it that brings me joy everytime I do it?
What is it that I’m okay to get wrong and not think of myself as stupid?
What is it I’d want to do again after everytime I blew it?
What’s the game I’d choose to play if I already knew I’d lose it?
There’d be no way to get it right
So there’s no reason to think twice
The only question left to ask myself
Is what is it I like?
What is it I want?
What makes me happy everyday?
The outcomes already guaranteed
So all I’d have to do is play
All the pressure would be gone
I’d be free to just be me
But it doesn’t feel like a realistic thing to believe unfortunately
Because that’s not how it works
The outcome’s not guaranteed
But it’s clear the fear is not knowing
Not whether you fail or whether you succeed
Which is silly, because you get an answer eventually
Sometimes you’ll win sometimes you’ll lose
But whether or not you enjoy the journey
That’s the part you choose.
Every single day
With everything you do
Whether or not you live a life you love
That’s entirely up to you.
