An Ordinary Man

I want to be inspired to write a song people really want to sing; I want to be inspired to compose a requiem for the King; But, I’m just an ordinary man doing the best I can at writing poems that have no homes. I want to be inspired to find a cure for this cancer thing; I want to be inspired to reach out for the golden ring; But, I’m just an ordinary man doing the best I can at getting by with the good old college try. I want to be inspired to lead a revolutionary coup; I want to be inspired to be the best at everything I do; But, I’m just an ordinary man doing the best I can to make ends meet and not live on the street. I have the motivation; I’ll put in the perspiration; I can give it concentration; But, I lack the inspiration; Inspire me. What will it take to inspire me? I want to be inspired to write a song people really want to sing; I want to be inspired to compose a requiem for the King; But, I’m just an ordinary man doing the best I can at writing poems that have no homes.
