Remaining free in spirit and in mind The Maverick breaks through the tiresome conventional bind
Without regard to the status quo There is much more out there, that they know
Always searching and thinking too Never taking “no” for an answer, only “yes” will do
They inspire, create, invent, and explore Allowing those around them to grow, know, and experience more
Their insatiable curiosity and compassion for life Drives them to seek ways to eradicate strife
With a passion to serve They help others create the life they deserve
And although nothing is certain, they will take a chance The Maverick never ceases to ask the hand of opportunity for a dance
They blaze their own path pushing aside the imitations Helping themselves and others exceed their own expectations
“You can’t do that,” they are told But they always step forward, acting bold
They break the conformist mold and risk looking like a fool But in the process they become the exception to the rule
The Maverick will not stop Refusing to give up until they reach the top
They define success and what it means to live By accepting nothing less than the best they can give
They step up to the challenge and never abandon the cause Helping humanity advance past its flaws
Because they think they can, the Maverick always will They understand and use the power of free will
