I heard my name and turned around.
I decided to follow the sound.
I tried to skip but I tripped on my laces!
Look at me Mom!

I'm going places.

I can't give up climbing up until I'm sitting on top of my cloud... reaching down...
With a hand from above for everyone I love spread around and still on the ground.
Walking...

Left foot, right foot, left foot, right... from morning till night on these feet.
I try to find the time to sleep then again, Right; Left; Right; Left; Repeat.
Wrestling angry alligators and grinding concrete with my teeth,
Would not be complete without a trip to the dentist.

It's the way it is with my aching back and hips... I kill myself to make a living.
Here comes the man with your beer! Never fear!
It's only pain. How could I complain?

I hear my name...
And try to skip into the heat of the Sun but,
These steel toe boots are starting to weigh a ton.
