| [00:10.14] |
Make your mark and stand out on the street |
| [00:13.17] |
While they measure you in feet |
| [00:15.54] |
Call you in and cut you loose to try another day |
| [00:20.85] |
Write as if a shadow of yourself |
| [00:24.15] |
Drink to good luck and good health |
| [00:26.23] |
Then smoke a hundred cigarettes on top a Friday high |
| [00:32.00] |
I don't mind it all the same |
| [00:34.45] |
And I never would complain |
| [00:36.71] |
Just set a steady walking pace and go |
| [00:41.83] |
Leave the shadows to themselves |
| [00:43.83] |
They'll dance upon the rocks and shells |
| [00:46.57] |
We are not late for we have nowhere to go |
| [00:56.10] |
The builder builds his building to a plan |
| [00:59.06] |
Then we all work there for the man |
| [01:01.56] |
Sit in offices surrender what we could have been |
| [01:07.17] |
Until the day we're useless to the cause |
| [01:09.96] |
Then we're quietly shown the door |
| [01:12.31] |
We're not needed anymore just servants of the crown |
| [01:18.27] |
I don't mind it all the same |
| [01:20.79] |
And I never would complain |
| [01:22.87] |
Just set a steady walking pace and go |
| [01:28.06] |
Leave the shadows to themselves |
| [01:30.18] |
They'll dance upon the rocks and shells |
| [01:32.67] |
We are not late for we have nowhere to go |
| [01:37.63] |
And I I am learning how to roll |
| [01:43.82] |
Take my time less the time spent takes its toll |
| [01:48.70] |
All my life I've been pushing along this road |
| [01:53.50] |
Stride by Stride one step closer to my goal |
| [02:18.76] |
The market leaves me wary of the world |
| [02:21.34] |
The oyster wary of the pearl |
| [02:24.00] |
The workman wary of the never ending jungle rise |
| [02:29.15] |
As if to wish the winter well away |
| [02:32.57] |
The sun is careful not to burn |
| [02:35.04] |
It just waits there for |
| [02:36.51] |
Its turn before the burning starts |
| [02:40.49] |
I don't mind it all the same |
| [02:42.90] |
And I never would complain |
| [02:45.28] |
Just set a steady walking pace and |
| [02:50.33] |
Leave the shadows to themselves |
| [02:52.40] |
They'll dance upon the rocks and shells |
| [02:55.07] |
We are not late for we have nowhere to go |
| [03:02.59] |
And I I am learning how to roll |
| [03:08.56] |
Take my time less the time spent takes its toll |
| [03:13.29] |
All my life I've been pushing along this road |
| [03:19.45] |
Stride by Stride one step closer to my goal |
