Child, why do you run so fast?

Won't you fall down and skin your knee?

In the wilder world of who and what

You can possibly be

Can't you pull off the blinders

And see...

That life is waiting before you

Youth is nothing to be despised

So many chances yet

So many hurdles lie before you

Leap over them!

Stumble and fall

If you have to

Life is nothing at all

If we can't make mistakes

Child, don't run so fast!

Life isn't a race

To the other side

Even when worlds

Seem to collide

There is always space

To exhale the deep breath

Before the next obstacle

Inhale! Enjoy this moment!

It isn't a sin or diabolical

To fan the flames dormant

Wake up, Child!

One moment is given to you

To burn bright

And run deep

Don't waste it

On woulda

Shoulda

Coulda...

Keep it moving

But slow down

Be who you

Were meant to be

Not green fruit

Hanging on the vine

For anyone to pluck

This, is your time

Don't waste it

On those who won't

Give a fuck

Child, why do you run so fast?

Slow it down!

Don't you know nothing

Ever lasts....

Except castles you build

Which make you whole

Within the chosen fortress

Of your own soul...

Your fate is written

On the dotted line

Just the same way

As mine....

Make it your own.
