Nerves

 There are nerves before a great fight

Nerves that come out at night

Nerves as you board your first flight

But these nerves you know they're right

Well they keep you under control

Like the actor who must stay in his role

And finish his play come what may

Oh nerves they'll have the last say

There are nerves that will dog you around

Like a fox is dogged by a hound

But you can't brush them away

For they're here to stay

And that's how they're as long as they're round

If you climb up the Eiffel tower

They'll be there in great power

Giving their speech, broadcasting their news

But life is a peach when you don't confuse

Their truth with having something to prove

Whether you stay or whether you move
