I've asked you a thousand times,
wipe your feet before you come inside.
I've told you numerous times,
watch your step before you go outside.

If that's all you wanted,
I would've dropped you off.
If that's all we were going to get,
I would never have gone.

Hold you head high,
Above your shoulders,
So others passing by,
Will know it's over.

They think they've got it down to a science,
But when it's time to run they trip on their own feet.
When they're offered help they turn and shake their heads,
We won't accept defeat 'cause what we believe is dead.

Scrape yourself from the pavement,
Relax your clenched jaw.
It's either odd or it's even,
Don't dare to set your eyes in between.

Running fast, but on ice.
Remembering names, forgetting eyes.
He sees the trees on his left and right.
Myriad leaves branch into another day.

A road less traveled leads to a farm,
Whose animals could not be herded.
He tries to find a light...

Is it all he would ever need,
Is it all he could ever need,
To keep this from happening?
Watch your mouth young man.

Build a bridge to the other side.
Lay the bricks but you're astray from the design.
You're not sure what to do about the flaw,
Yet you build it up and risk a nasty fall.

You'd love to find your way back,
but you've already made the stride.
