Slow and Steady

Little by little, inch by inch
Straightedge, steady
I move forward
I might look stagnant at times
But I'm moving very slowly

The earth is round
Running around
Will eventually lead me back home
Home where I was born
Home where I was raised
Home where I escaped to
Home where I choose to live

The journey is within
So I move slow
To understand the present
To appreciate each moment
To embrace pain
To surpass fears
To realize dreams
So I don't have to return
To this old world again

The only way you'll meet me
Is if you make a you-turn
For you move very fast
Too fast for me to reach you
Too fast to accept the love
I was sent here to give you
