King of Mediocrity
Words and Music by Rickie Fox © 2008

One by one, your dreams slip away
And when all is said and done, you’ve got nothing to say
For yourself
Just some lines about the road not taken
And how your life could have been

After you cry, you search deep inside
Is it worth another try, or should you just hide
Yourself away
Protected from rejection, pain and sorrow
And wait for more of the same
Or just stand up and proclaim

Hello big world, it’s me again
The King of Mediocrity again
I guess I owe myself an apology
For not being what I was born to be
Did I lose vision, take my eye off the ball
Not pay attention and miss the call
Will I get my second wind and set myself free
Or will I forever be
The King of Mediocrity

Someone to notice is all I ever wanted
No matter the price I know I’ll have to pay
I’ll always have to say

Hello big world, it’s me again
The King of Mediocrity again
I’ve got no time for an apology
I’m busy trying to be what I was born to be
With eyes wide open, keep my eyes on the ball
I’ll pay attention and heed the call
Ride the second wind and set myself free
‘cause I don’t want to be
The King of Mediocrity
