I suffer from anxiety dark thoughts,

I sometimes think…

I bought myself a motorbike YES!!

I know… my life’s at risk…

 

I sometimes get this feeling

To run away and hide…

But since I got this motorbike

I feel happy deep inside…

 

Today I got wind therapy

I travelled far and wide…

Just me and my motorbike

No one by my side…

 

I put on all the safety gear

It’s the freedom that I crave…

I’ve felt no feeling like it

And I love that biker wave…

 

I love the smiles from little kids

The ones who hear the roar…

They like to hear a little rev

Which makes me love it even more…

 

The old bloke who used to ride

Missus on the rear…

Who wants to stop and have chat

Now he’s old… riding is a fear…

 

I bring back real good memories

Of when he used to ride…

He tells me of the places

And the way he felt inside…

 

He tells me to be careful…

To live my life… be free

I really love his support

But wish he could be me…

 

As I rode away that day

I saw it as a sign…

Yes… riding might put my life at risk

But this bike just might save mine
