[Verse 1]
I remember the first time I realized
That anyone could play at this game
And maybe it wasn’t so hard
To achieve every one of my dreams
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But I’ve come up against too many obstacles to count
And every day it just seems harder but I’ve figured out
[Chorus]
That I can be happy with the bronze
I can be happy with so much less
I’m lucky to be in this game at all
Feeling like this song is my life purpose
I can be happy with the bronze
I can be happy with the bronze
[Verse 2]
I remember a time I thought
That every step in this journey would be fun
And it would never have to feel like work
As long as you were doing what you love
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But it’s a slog just to get by
When you don’t know if you’ll ever be great
But you can still be happy
If you just accept your fate
[Chorus]
So I can be happy with the bronze
I can be happy with so much less
I’m lucky to be in this game at all
Feeling like this song is my life purpose
I can be happy with the bronze
I can be happy with the bronze
[Verse 3]
There are feats that are nearly impossible
For a normal person like me to complete
I won’t ever win a Grammy
And I won’t ever be Paul McCartney
I will never be the best
[Outro]
So now my only goal is to sacrifice everything I have
Just to do what I love for a living
I know it was never gonna be easy
But at least I’m not dreaming about winning the Olympics
