Progression Lyrics

Run the race into life

There are hills and valleys along the way

Pick your feet up - rise again

You'll be floored many more times yet

It's not the fastest or the highest

You can't measure life from pace

The only way into life

Is intent to always move ahead one step at a time

Turn away into life

Walk ahead to a light

I know there is no other way

Stand me up to the light

I cast a shadow black as anything

Stand me up to another man

More oft than not I bet I'd pale against the human candle

But, this I see is a part of me

A need to measure when the measuring's done

Just let it go - move on by

One foot ahead of the other - go on, distance yourself

We elect few that walk on by

The race is won, we are sure of it

We are deceptive in our size

We are weighed, never counted

When the end-line, I meet

I will see a win I should never have

For the sweat was never mine

Once I knew this I only ran ahead step after step after step
