think and think and think
yourself to sleep
hope and hope and hope
your life away
wish and wish and wish
that things would change
talk and talk and talk
away the day
talkin 'bout talk that runs too cheap
talkin 'bout a glance you never stole
talkin 'bout a chance you never got
if only i would move a little forward

1 step forward, 2 steps back
3 steps forward, 4 steps back

insignificant things you never know
might steer you towards the gold
...a fraction of an inch
...or pieces of the whole
you build a fireproof bridge
then try to burn it down
...while moving forward
talkin' bout a talk that runs too cheap
talk about a coat you never wore
laugh about the fortune that you could drink
while swearing off the lines that you just swore
we said that we would never be like them
and wonder why the mirror wouldnt bend
driving by the banks you never hit
just think of all the things you never did...

5 steps forward, 6 steps back
7 steps forward, 8 steps back

i'll be the blood you never flow
i'll be the sweat you never poured
i'll be the weight you never bore
i'll be the lever that you need
to move you forward

Maybe this is a song for you? Maybe this is a song for me?

Maybe this is a song for all of us, considering the greatness that each of us holds inside. I don't know.

This life is a race; for some its a race to the top. For others, its a race to the middle. And sometimes, it feels like a race to go backwards.

3 steps forward, 4 steps back.

Some of us are lucky enough to be able to act upon that greatness. 

Others of us just watch it go by and then blow away in the breeze.

Be the former, not the latter.

I don't want to talk; I want to 'do'.... I want to act upon.

I want to complete, stand back, evaluate, perfect, and then let stand on its own. That's what I want.
