Startled, confident, petrified, composed
This is what happens when you're exposed
An addict to life and adventure
What happens next is you're a story collector

Gathered around a campfire, sharing your anecdote
About the time on that enormous boat
You fought and fiddled and beat the enemy
What happens next is your absolute bravery

You took the sword and wasted your opponent
Then you tell your greatest component
That the battle was now won, the war is now over
What happens next is you took it to the oars

You road to the shore and the assault was over
Finally finished, you lay in the bush clover
That’s what happens next in your story of the year
Yes, I am done. Now you all may cheer
