• At last some time for pleasure trips
  And do what you want to do
  The time to just take your time
  It's toodle-oo to time that flew
  Those plan A's and B's
  Coming down of that dusty shelf;
  it's your time now just for you
  To do things for your self.

• A man is an island, but the water is deep
  And the shore on the other side is ragged and steep
  To look for perfection is a lonely old ride
  It takes a whole lot of courage and a whole lot of pride
  When you look for independence and you get what you want
  How come you look back, thinking what have I done?
  But time and again, it dawns on me
  It's the price we pay for liberty
  I should have know, we all need a place to call home
