Because You Asked

BECAUSE YOU ASKED
 Because you asked I'm going to tell you
 How my road brought me here where I belong
 I wanted acclaim, I needed admission
 Into a world full of fame and glamour life
 I hopped on a plane, a mustang of freedom
 That took me away far beyond from where I was born
 I landed these docks across the Atlantic
 Eager for crowns, gold and grandeur in Kodak dreams
 But then I began the schooling of life
 The one that is real and the one that is tough
 I learned from mistakes, my ego got roughed
 Down to the depths of my natural self
 Because you asked I'm going to tell you
 I paid an arm and a leg to earn this prize
 The man I was then, cosmetic and fragile
 I buried behind and my soul is placid again
 Because you asked I'm going to tell you
 The warnings were there, on the wall, for all to see
 I trained to be me, I learned to be helpful
 And tend to the child deep inside, unspoiled and true
 All of those years I fought to become
 The one that I always imagined I'd be
 The path was abrupt, tough and obscure
 I couldn't perceive how it ends or begins
 All of those days of hard work and strain
 All of them turned to be wonderful grains
 And then there were sprouts, the blossoms of self
 They taught me to be as sincere as I can
