Don't Trade Your Legs for a Pair of Wings

Don't trade your legs for a pair of wings, on order and expect, To fall in the air like a parachute, is all you might get Don't get off your boat till your ship has arrived and standing quite perfect Cause treading water and life preservers can also keep you wet. You can have faith in all things to come But where you stand is what you got So until the big things have Shown where they're from You know those little things do mean a lot Chorus: So look in your heart, Realize where your truth starts And learn from your mistakes, Cause there's no fool, like an old fool Who can tell you once it's too late, it's too late Did you think to rid of the litter you had, It would bring you the bigger things Approaching life as a game to gamble With faith as a bet you'd win You can't believe those that promise the world It's no ones to give or take They're not the souls that create "pennies from heaven" Your palms await That's no friend who strengthens by saying Brother spread out thin, who fattens you To feast on you and starves for a tasty sin You're better off with a true enemy Than a false friend, you can't pin Whose satisfied by your biggest loss Like the gain of the devil's grin Chorus
