Before You Walk

It was a long long time

A long long time ago

Met someone very special

Who is not here anymore

And I was greeted with a smile

And she asked"Why are you worrying, child?"

You need to go adventure, my dear"So shall we" I reply

You need to cry a bit

Before you get to smile

Travel a million miles

Before you realize

That what you were looking for

Has been with you all this time

You need to fall a lot

Before you learn to walk

Say lots of silly things

Before you really talk

And sometimes you have to close your eyes

And simply trust your heart

I still remember those old days

Spent out on the porch

We used to closely watch the sky

Catch stars while they fall

These stars are just like us

That's what she loved to say

We have to shine for others

Illuminate their way

You need to cry a bit

Before you get to smile

Travel a million miles

Before you realize

That what you were looking for

Has been with you all this time

You need to fall a lot

Before you learn to walk

Say lots of silly things

Before you really talk

And sometimes you have to close your eyes

And simply trust your heart

And sometimes It can be hard

Life can deal some lousy cards

But one day they knock you out

The next they're shoothing you to Mars

You need to cry a bit

Before you get to smile

Travel a million miles

Before you realize

That what you were looking for

Has been with you all this time
