I've been free to do whatever I want
To make the shows I want anywhere I want with whom I want
In any style I want
So I, at first I don't know any other way
And by now I won't have it any other way
Life is good
Why settle for less?
Be open to experience
Be willing to try new things
Don't have a rigid plan except random acts of hospitality without judgment or fear
Don't be afraid to wander
Don't be afraid to eat a bad meal
You know, if you don't risk the bad meal you'll never get the magical one
But I think most important
[Chorus]
Be humble, bе grateful, be humble, bе grateful, be humble, be grateful
Be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful
Be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful
Be humble, be grateful
Before I started traveling I thought that the human race as a whole will turn on itself at any moment, you know, venal, petty, cruel, arbitrarian
And it's true that all of those things exist in this world, but
I meet mostly pretty nice people
Doing the best they can, often under very, very difficult conditions
I met a lot of very nice people who've done very, very bad things that conflict with my deeply-held conceptions of justice and sexual equality or acceptable practice or religious views
There are a lot of gray areas in travel
But I think that on balance the world is filled with people doing the best they can, you know?
The best they can, you know?
[Chorus]
Be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful
Be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful
Be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful
I've been fired many times during my cooking career
I was not a particularly good chef
I had a lot of problems at various parts of my career with narcotics
You know, I accepted failure as a chef because I was at various times a bad chef
And even a bad person
These days if I fail it's because I try to do something and did not succeed
Or I just was just was not able to do what I hoped to do or wanted to do
But I would much rather that
I would much rather fail gloriously than
Not try
I’m not interested in telling stories with competence
I’m looking at telling 'em with some style and originality and some creativity
To make the shows I want anywhere I want with whom I want
In any style I want
So I, at first I don't know any other way
And by now I won't have it any other way
Life is good
Why settle for less?
Be open to experience
Be willing to try new things
Don't have a rigid plan except random acts of hospitality without judgment or fear
Don't be afraid to wander
Don't be afraid to eat a bad meal
You know, if you don't risk the bad meal you'll never get the magical one
But I think most important
[Chorus]
Be humble, bе grateful, be humble, bе grateful, be humble, be grateful
Be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful
Be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful
Be humble, be grateful
