Rena Blue Rodeo

[Verse 1]
I got my plans
From trembling hands
I knew just what to do
Follow each step carefully
And hope they pulled me through
My father ran to different lands
And not a word we spoke
But I was here to conquer fear
And bring some glory home

[Chorus]
There's a world of hate and sorrow
Out there standing in your way
There's a load of compromise before you die
And each time you step forward you get burned a little bit
No longer know the way to say goodbye
I'm down here underneath your bedroom light
Oh, Rena, please come out with me tonight

[Verse 2]
I look in through the window
And I thought I'd take my chance
I taught myself to play
So I could be where people danced
No higher call than stars that fall
I waited patiently
A thousand miles of pavement that became my destiny
