You cannot get all there is
All that is there for you
All that you are supposed to get
The romance and destiny that life has to offer
By filling in forms
By finding out just what the teacher wants
Those things that have gotten others by in the past
This is not the same old thing
This is life
what God has planned for you
and the walls of the school
like the rocks and trees
are just about to break into song
The ceilings are just about to clap their hands
Don’t roll your eyes
The Israelites wanted to go back to Egypt, you know
Even after the Red Sea was parted for them
It is not even just about working harder
It is about falling in love
It is about hearing the music
Seeing the colors
It is about chasing that beautiful bird and catching it
It is about getting up early
Not because of the alarm
But because you want to start the fight
You know what you would miss
It is not about running faster
It is about flying.
