RAT RACE

sitting here
staring  at the crossroads  
trying to over-stand
because i wont let go,
 
i know,
the streets  
are very cold.
 
perseverance
is the key we hold
we've got to plant the seed  
and watch it grow
we've got to seek the things we need to know
we've got to walk the streets  
with love.
 
yes!  
i know this is a rat race
and tho my knees are weak  
and i cannot see the signs
 
i know i'm going to take me high
high so i can fly.
 
they say
we've go to be courageous
and sometimes  
 we've got to see and blind
 
they say  
we've got to count the tears we cry
because
 our lives will be hard at times.
 
don't ever heed  
to temptation  
 
just take your time
and make up your mind
 
don't sign in blood
on their dotted line
because you've got to live
you will not die.
 
yes!
i know this is a rat race
and tho my knees are weak  
and i cannot see the signs
 
i know i'm going to take me high
high so i can  
fly.....
