Envy You

trying to be you my entire life you're a stick a rope and a sign saying here's a reason to strive I bust my ass of when you need not to try it's all these jealous thoughts that put the will in my life it's all in my mind from the time when I was a kid you always set the pace right above my head you kept me looking up to see there are no walls to box me in to make me fall standing in the shadow of a greater man providing me with the strength to take a stand shaping my life to follow what you've shown I'm defining who I am by using everything I know now that we've both grown old I can't explain what I owe my eyes were clouded by jealous thoughts because I envy you you made me who I am
