Songtext von Self Promotion

Surrounded by others, he waits by himself Feeding on failures that already fell While out in the forest but well within reach Different timbre, similar each At least one bigger issue A thousand greater needs At least one way that he could help But he has to grow himself He’s sure that it’s more of the same old game You work hard and diligent But only grow when it rains Forever and ever, ‘til one day it’s done Sleeping in shadows, secondhand Sun And herein lies the issue In trying to grow strong and tall There’s just one shot at the Sun If she ever chooses to shine at all 'Cause he has to stand when the wind blows And hold himself upright Has to carry on growing It’s shade or be shadowed, no less
