The sign says: "No Stopping",
and for a moment there, I couldn't...
Wait for the ending, I just move my hands,
and get started.
We could've had that slice of pie,
a couple kids, an honest life,
but you didn't understand.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the tree,
but only one of the three has two broken wings.
If I am for you, as you are for me,
would you let me go, would you set me free,
or wait for my greatest escape?
What am I doing with my life?
The market I'm in for, is it groceries or loose living?
The what-ifs seem endless, like a passenger train at a junction.
How many people do I know, took the long and narrowed road, and made it?
How many still believe it now, after watching the other half be successful?
A bird in the hand is worth two in the tree,
but only one of the three has two broken wings.
If I am for you, as you are for me,
would you let me go, would you set me free?
I'd rather die, than never take flight.
What am I doing with my life?
The farmer and his wife purchased a plot to die.
It was written with moral code, and just the right size to go.
Pre-meditated loss, or unabashedly better off?
We toil and tare the land, until we're taken back home again.
