Life is a Journey



Life is a Journey. We must crawl before we walk, we must
Walk before we run, we must stand tall after we fall,
We can't expect to win if we quit before we begin, we must
Learn to attempt the impossible and believe we can achieve,
Reach for the stars don't quit till we succeed.
Life is a Journey. We must learn that there are people,
Who will try to make us fail, keeping us away from our
Goals, I suppose, that they suppose that that's their only
Roles, you never know what you can and can't do until your
Confronted and exposed. Life is a Journey.
Day to day there is an adventure and there are forks
In the road, but on one way streets, which way do we go?
Which path do we take? What move do we make? We can't
Just sit there and wait, Life is a Journey.
As the path unfolds, for a story to be told and the glory
To be shown at the end of the road in which you took,
Dodging obstacles, persevering after countless failures,
You realize that there was a reason
You took your steps, and didn't follow the other footprints
But made your own...making life a Journey...
