Javelin

If you hadn’t kicked the spark that lit this fire
It never would’ve kindled my desire
And I never would’ve figured out just how far I could take it and go
I’d still be worried about what to do
Wondering if I ever stood a chance with you
Thinking that I wasn’t even close just dreaming it would all turn true

And If I hadn’t taken this kind of risk
I never would’ve stumbled onto something like this
I would have doubted my aim was true always thinking ‘bout you
I’d still be worried about my next move
Wondering if I really had a point to prove
Walking ’round in circles with a chip on my shoulder
That just wouldn’t move

chorus:
Now I’m like a javelin that hurls through the sky, shines in the sun
Flung this far, I’ll keep a comin’, won’t dwell on what I haven’t done
But rather what I’ve overcome
I’m on a mission, I’m on a roll, I’m on a run

If I hadn’t tried to cover this ground before
I never would’ve stepped out on the dance floor
I never would’ve found the kind of medicine
that offered up a permanent cure
I would’ve been kicking up dust like a storm
Still a lot of talking hot air, luke warm
Like a tired volcano that couldn’t erupt no more

(chorus)

If I hadn’t made a mark this time around
I’d be like a river boat run aground
With my short wave radio sending out messages calling your name
I’d still be whipping around in a spin,
a weather vane in a hurricane wind
You put hope in my heart and the fire back in my soul

(chorus)

I’m on a mission now, I’m on a roll, I’m not done
I’m on a mission, I’m on a roll, having fun
I’m on a mission, I’m on a roll, I’m on a run
