I wonder what it’s like to be in charge

Being on top, standing above that barge

I wonder what it’s like to be respected

A sense of myself being erected

I wonder...

When are people going to start listening to me?

When are they going to see?

When are they going to look to me for advice?

When there’s no other device?

I wonder...

Everyone else will push

And shove their way to the top

I get left on the bottom
Labeled as the flop

You’ve all had your fifteen minutes of fame

Left in the background

All too tame

I’ll get myself there

I’ll win it straight up and fair

I don’t care how long it takes

You’ll all see past the fakes

Your smokescreen is starting

To disappear

Exposing all your well-hidden fear

As I laugh, stand back and observe

Your well-traveled road

Has taken a curve

It’s my turn now

Although you may be wondering how

Breaking past you barriers

It’s time to take my bow
