Make your mark and stand out on the street While they measure you in feet Call you in and cut you loose to try another day Write as if a shadow of yourself Drink to good luck and good health Then smoke a hundred cigarettes on top a Friday high I don't mind it all the same And I never would complain Just set a steady walking pace and go Leave the shadows to themselves They'll dance upon the rocks and shells We are not late for we have nowhere to go The builder builds his building to a plan Then we all work there for the man Sit in offices surrender what we could have been Until the day we're useless to the cause Then we're quietly shown the door We're not needed anymore just servants of the crown I don't mind it all the same And I never would complain Just set a steady walking pace and go Leave the shadows to themselves They'll dance upon the rocks and shells We are not late for we have nowhere to go And I I am learning how to roll Take my time less the time spent takes its toll All my life I've been pushing along this road Stride by Stride one step closer to my goal The market leaves me wary of the world The oyster wary of the pearl The workman wary of the never ending jungle rise As if to wish the winter well away The sun is careful not to burn It just waits there for Its turn before the burning starts I don't mind it all the same And I never would complain Just set a steady walking pace and Leave the shadows to themselves They'll dance upon the rocks and shells We are not late for we have nowhere to go And I I am learning how to roll Take my time less the time spent takes its toll All my life I've been pushing along this road Stride by Stride one step closer to my goal
