about

A shy young boy who hid his talents and passion for music from the world

lyrics

I was just a kid when I nursed my first guitar, I used to hide away and pick myself a bar
On rehearsal days I snuck in through the back door of the school with a guitar in hand I’m feeling quite un-cool Never sung a tune of mine before a crowd, see I had a fear that stopped me singing out aloud and
I knew that deep inside me lay a gift that was on call, I had to find the key unlock that mystery door
See I couldn’t hit a nail with a hammer, and building things with timber only made me stammer and looking down a microscope at things that didn’t make a sound just gave me time to dream of music cus I can

Joined a band playin Dixie and some blues but lacked belief that I could make it in those shoes
So plucking strings for a living was embargoed, set me up a living on the highway selling cargo but
The question still remained what might have been if I’d believed might I have made that music scene

Now I’m living in the land of the Silver fern I quenched my fears now I’m singing it’s my turn
I’ve found the key to that locked up mystery door now I’m telling stories of my life and there’ll be More. I was just a kid when I nursed my first six string now I will hide away no more cus I can sing
And I still like bending nails with a hammer, and I’m not much better working with a spanner
But I know just where I’ve been and I’m happy in my skin I’m writing music just for me cus I can Yes I'm writing music for my soul cus I can
Yes I can, I’m writing music for the world yes I can
Ohh Yes I can, yes I bloody well can Oooh ahhh ohhh yes I can
