I have seen this turn in more than one direction
Many seeds were sown and then some
I just lacked the nerve to go for introspection
But it couldn’t have come at a better time

I served my country well but it’s time to leave
You never saw this coming but I had a little something up my sleeve

I’m determined to
Make this one count
No room for regret
It’s time to break away
I’m determined to
Make this one count
No way I’ll step back
The persevering way

Well, I’ve been to here and there and back without hesitation
The places known to me, my playground
I saw the green turn into concrete because of renovation
according to the book of progress
And right now I’m arrived at the point where I really couldn’t care less

I served my country well but it’s time to leave
You never saw this coming but I had a little something up my sleeve

I’m determined to
Make this one count
No room for regret
It’s time to break away
I’m determined to
Make this one count
No way I’ll step back
The persevering way

And I’ve had a few, I must confess
They nourished qualities I posses
But there’s nothing sacred, nothing sacred
The price to pay is never higher
Than the sum of every part
That’s coming my way, coming my way

I’m determined to
Make this one count
No room for regret
It’s time to break away
I’m determined to
Make this one count
No way I’ll step back
The persevering way

I’m determined to
Make this one count
No room for regret
It’s time to break away
I’m determined to
Make this one count
No way I’ll step back
The persevering way
