Zero

When nature decided, my heart had a flaw
Hospital halls became home, against all law
Early years were boring, tiredness came quick
Playing wasn't fun, it made me feel sick

Every year a chapter, life's highs and lows
From the peaks to the valleys, where the heartache flows
Through joy and through sorrow, each moment I claim
This is my story, through sunshine and rain

In school, I got my award, most courteous of all
A small victory at seven, I stood tall
In the school bus, a crush at nine caught my eye
Love's first spark, it made my heart fly

Every year a chapter, life's highs and lows
From the peaks to the valleys, where the heartache flows
Through joy and through sorrow, each moment I claim
This is my story, through sunshine and rain

My first kiss was at ten, Charlotte made it sweet
But she left this world, a memory bittersweet
At seventeen, love rejected time and again
Lessons in heartache, enduring the pain

Nineteen, a girlfriend, she was just fifteen
A bloody love letter, felt like a dream
Called to the fold at twenty-two, walking in clouds
Dedicated my life, service made me proud

Became a father at thirty-two, my heart open wide
Call Agent at thirty-four, dreams and duty collide
At thirty-nine, a father once more, love did grow
Lost their mother at forty-one, sorrow's shadow

Every year a chapter, life's highs and lows
From the peaks to the valleys, where the heartache flows
Through joy and through sorrow, each moment I claim
This is my story, through sunshine and rain

Forty-eight, first album out, dreams realized
Twenty-six songs of my journey, life's highs and cries
This song is a testament to the path I've tread
With each note and word, my story's been said

Through every high and low, I've found my way
With each beat of my heart, I've lived another day
This is my life, my story to share
Through the music, you'll find me there
