[Intro]
Come on!
[Verse 1]
"Grab the bull by the horns"
The old adage goes
Nobody tells you where to go from there
Seems like fate's pulling you
Decisions have to be made
The best path is the hardest earned
[Chorus]
Back and forth, the struggle consumes us all
Trying to keep a level head
In the most unsettling of times
Today, I become the bull
[Verse 2]
There is so much at stake
I stumble, I lose my place
Pride and arrogance surrounded by sin
Destiny takes its hold
Fight it or let it go
But I choose how today will end
[Chorus]
Back and forth, the struggle consumes us all
Trying to keep a level head
In the most unsettling of times
Today, I become the bull
Today, I become the bull
[Bridge]
This walk can get lonely
I lose myself inside my head
No one can touch you when
You're outside staring in
Remove myself from this rat race
[Chorus]
Back and forth, the struggle consumes us all
Trying to keep a level head
In the most unsettling of times
Today, I become the bull
[Outro]
Today, I become the bull
Today, I become the bull
Today, I become the bull
Today, I become the bull
