Distance

You begin successful
Waiting to descend
I begin wanting
Hoping to climb
We are on paths
With different slopes
Longing to go the
Distance

We meet in the middle
Different as night and day
For a time we tell
Each other our secrets
We are on this road
On a treeless plain
Longing to go the
Distance

Here we capture
Shiny things
Diamonds in the rough
Hidden
Discarded

Somehow
We know they’ll
Be needed later
Fuel for the journey
When the road forks

Hey yah
Hey yah
Hey yah
Hey yah

How many times
Do you meet
Someone who changes
Everything
Helps you go where
You’ve never gone before
You were that man
For a short time
As I longed to
Go the distance
