|
There was a man who thought |
|
He could avoid all of the things |
|
That stood up in his way |
|
Friends would say that he should |
|
Plan to spend more time |
|
There's lots of trouble in a day |
|
With just enough work |
|
And a short line to a goal |
|
He was so sure he could secure his place |
|
He wanted a lot and was so |
|
Quick to say how this small |
|
World was unfair to its race |
|
He'd spend his time, spends his time |
|
Deciding routes with lines, routes with lines |
|
There was no time, was no time |
|
For corners in the lines, corners in lines |
|
Your pathway grows dark |
|
Was clear at the start |
|
You're not! |
|
You're not! |
|
You're not alone |
|
Your pathway grows dark |
|
Was clear at the start |
|
You're not! |
|
You're not! |
|
You're not alone |
|
Not listening to the people we were close |
|
There always seemed to be an easy way |
|
The work was tiresome, a thing to avoid |
|
Leaving lots of time so he could play |
|
He'd spend his time, spend his time |
|
Shortening lines, shortening lines |
|
There was no time, there was no time |
|
To spend too long on the line, long on the line |
|
Your pathway grows dark |
|
Was clear at the start |
|
You're not! |
|
You're not! |
|
You're not alone |
|
Your pathway grows dark |
|
Was clear at the start |
|
You're not! |
|
You're not! |
|
You're not alone |
