Go Down - Malcom Brooks
Have you ever claimed you'd be someone famous
You knew what you wanted to be
Staking out a truth not a soul would believe
They laughed, said they'd wait and see
If you go west, bring me the mountains
If you go east, bring me the sea
If you go north, bring me the ice and snow
If you go down, go down
When I was a babe I was called precocious
'Cause I wrote a melody well
Promises and praise took it all out of focus
Pride made a silIy head swell
But if you have a dream be prepared to defend her
For an arrow needs a steady bow
Ambition is a force you can never surrender
You believe in love, well I believe in sorrow
Love can make a well run dry
Too much of one and the hurt turns hollow
Wisdom is a look at both sides
If you go west, bring me the mountains
If you go east, bring me the sea
If you go north, bring me the ice and snow
If you go down, go down
A puppy loves to play but a cat sleeps the day out
Hunters work best at night
Trapping in the sun will bring you but hunger
Strike when the hour is right
And if you have a dream be prepared to defend her
For an arrow needs a steady bow
Ambition is a force you can never surrender
Listen for promise, look for an angel
Wish for a wizard's spell
Ask of the augur, learn fraIl the tradesman
You know your boundaries so well
If you go west, bring me the mountains
If you go east, bring me the sea
If you go north, bring me the ice and snow
If you go down, go down
