• A friend became the enemy
    The enemy, my friend
    I'll walk you through, one step, then one more
    Then I'll meet you at the end
    How far will this journey lead
    I found the tree, what happened to the seed
    Sometimes you find the rules will bend

    Footprints left in the sand
    Staring out here comes the wave
    A child stared into the distance with me
    Looked at me... "You need to shave"
    I smiled, turned, walked away
    She asked then if I would stay
    I said "No it's time to be brave"

    I'm at my breaking point
    Tears then came upon my face
    How wonderful a girl I met
    How long must we run this race
    Forever and a day, never at all?
    Think about what you love, no matter how small
    It's time to change the pace

    Which way should I turn?
    A turn for the slower, into a run
    Hmmm I'm feeling a burst
    Hope you find out how to control your sun
    Suddenly I come to a halt
    Was this my fault?
    What is it that I'd not done?

    I'm at my breaking point
    That girl tried to run the course
    I couldn't believe what I had seen
    My voice was impaled and hoarse
    I stopped and stared
    I faltered, compared
    I was hit with emotion, remorse

    I'm at my breaking point
    I knew she was stronger than I
    One thing about the cruelty that is life
    One day, we all must die
    The race is over, I quit today
    I'll make sure not to run but play
    So when my time comes, we'll be eye to eye
