Falling Fast
Falling hard and falling fast
The floor seems to be moving
The clouds in sky go spinning past
Some days your mind feels loosing
The heart it sways and shifts around
Till you wonder how your listening
Each beat louldy and clear resounds
Tears in your eyes glistening
Knowing the path that lies ahead
Is full of rocks and bolders
The weight now of the world it leans
Solid on your shoulders
You know what it is that must be done
And how it is you must do it
Can't just turn and quickly run
You have to walk to prove it
And so each day you plan and dream
Outlining every step
As not your life to start careening
Over steep slopes and cliffs
There is a goal you remind yourself
One that is worth attaining
As you take from off the shelf
All history remaining
Keeping only the most precious
Of lifes sweet memories
All others left behind us
Useless momentos be
And looking up into the sky
Just one star shows its gleeming
We remember just exactly why
This path we've been creating
