Owen's Whole Ordeal [Verse 1] He started with a pencil and a picture in his head, Drawing little worlds on a sheet beside his bed. Then he found a little website where the sprites could come alive, Making games in Scratch, watching his ideas survive. A cat on the screen, a story he could tell, A few blocks of code and he was under the spell. He didn't know where all those little projects would lead, He was just a kid with a dream and a need to create and succeed. [Chorus] Oh, it's Owen's whole ordeal, Every high and every hill. From a crayon on the paper to a dream he couldn't kill, He's been building, he's been learning, He's been falling, he's been burning, But he keeps on chasing something bigger still. Yeah, life ain't always easy, And the road ain't always clear, But Owen keeps on moving, year after year. From those Scratch projects to whatever comes next, He's writing his own story, one chapter at a time. [Verse 2] Then the drawings got bigger and the projects got wild, He kept on experimenting, just like that little child. Something wouldn't work? Well, he'd give it one more try, Change a block, fix a bug, send the project flying high. There were days he'd wonder if he had what it takes, Days when things went sideways and plans began to break. But every little failure taught him something on the way, And every new idea gave him one more thing to say. [Chorus] Oh, it's Owen's whole ordeal, Every high and every hill. From a crayon on the paper to a dream he couldn't kill, He's been building, he's been learning, He's been falling, he's been burning, But he keeps on chasing something bigger still. Yeah, life ain't always easy, And the road ain't always clear, But Owen keeps on moving, year after year. From those Scratch projects to whatever comes next, He's writing his own story, one chapter at a time. [Verse 3] There's a lot more to the story than the things he's made, There's the people, there's the moments, there's the choices that he faced. There's the late nights, the laughs, the times he felt alone, And all the little steps that brought him where he's grown. He learned that growing up ain't some straight and easy line, Sometimes you lose your way before you know you'll be just fine. But somewhere underneath it all, one thing stayed the same: That kid who loved to make things still had fire in his name. [Bridge] So here's to every rough road, Every wrong turn and restart, Every little project That came straight from his heart. You can't see the ending When you're standing at the start, But every piece of Owen's past Became a piece of who you are. [Final Chorus] Oh, it's Owen's whole ordeal, And it's bigger than a screen. It's the kid who started drawing And the man he's gonna be. He's been building, he's been learning, He's been changing, still returning To that fire that made him dream. Yeah, the road keeps on rolling, And there's miles left to go, But he's got a story now That only Owen knows. From a pencil and a Scratch game To whatever comes next, He's writing his own story, And he ain't finished yet. [Outro] So keep that pencil moving, Keep those crazy ideas coming, Keep building little worlds When the real one gets confusing. 'Cause the kid who started drawing Had no idea back then— That every little project Was the beginning of Owen.
