lyrics

[BUILDING A BUSINESS]

You don’t build your kingdom
At random
You have to choose
Your governors well
Have your guiding principles
Rule your empire with poise
day and night
The same thing is applicable
When you write

You have to be thinking of your brand
Your ideas like instruments in a band
Have to harmonize
Offer your audience
Some provocative prize

Just like any other business
When you’re thinking about
Its bigness
You have to apportion time
Think in terms of parsley, rosemary
AND thyme

And as you watch your kingdom grow
You can be content to know
That you had some sort of a plan
Much more intricate
Than when you began

There’s certainly room for flexibility
But also a good deal of certainty
Wrack your brain, read some books
And try some different things out
And hopefully people will love
What your business is about
