Eddie Izzard Eddie has faced much Loss

Eddie Izzard

Eddie has faced much
Loss, torment, solitude
Dyslexia, disappointment
But with a good attitude.

Eddie was born on February 7th
Many homes come and gone
His mum dies when he's six
But he overcomes and moves on.

In school he didn't do well
To acting he was drawn
Dyslexia was a hurdle
But he overcomes and moves on.

For ten years he tries to act
For plays he wasn't chosen
He's reduced to street performing
But he overcomes and moves on.

Eddie grows older
Comedy is working out
Many shows he does
All being sold out.

He turns to acting once again
Small roles he relied upon
In movies which didn't do well
But he overcomes on moves on.

Today, doing more movies
With bigger roles
Becoming more famous
Achieving his goals.

No matter how bad it looks
Just know from now on
That it's possible to
Overcome and move on.
