all I own is a BAD reputation

I have an old dream deep within
it is the drive of my mind
it takes me onto mountain ridges so high
if you want good views you have to bare some wind
and we two have stood in the eye of the storm
maybe from stupidity but also bravery and spite
and we have conquered all the bumps
they said could topple great loads

But all I own is a bad reputation
and no one knows what the days will bring
two dunces like us have nothing to fear
we have seen what most people glide past

I have a longing deep within
it is the sail of my soul
it takes me out of the deepest wave-trenches
and home to you, whole
but we drifted a long time on the ocean
as bark boats far from land
and I have drowned in every tiny harbor
and I have loudly cried your name

All I own is a bad reputation
and no one knows what the days will bring
two dunces like us have nothing to fear
we have seen what most people glide past

far too long we wandered
and were so afraid
of how the future would turn out
but all I need now is your hand
and the best I can give you is mine
