When you learn,
You’re supposed to follow perfectly inside of the lines.
And you’re supposed to win at least a couple hundred of times,
Before you even have the right to think or say or show you’re any good at all...
They’ll tell you that there’s only one right way, one paved path,
Or you’ll make a fool of yourself and everyone will laugh...
They’ll make you feel like everybody’s waiting there to watch you as you fall...
They sigh, they tell me I’m a dreamer,
They say ‘someone’s gotta wake her’...
But I’ll just smile, I’ll say,
"Once upon a time I was a baker"
