Be Not Ready

be not ready got to keep it steady how do i run without tripping sweat dripping racing blood pumping to fast to slow down without falling to the ground hear the sound of my heart calling for rest at best catch my breath up and running without stopping mapping the straight and narrow road be not ready got to keep it steady green light go reach my goal and stay gold not finished but begin my do overs from the start never ending never resting to reach my best knock me down from the ground all the way up i rise head held high for those after before me will shine any given time there star will glow bright and take up there birth right making me proud to be the light at the end of the tunnel no rest for the worried for they keep hope alive for there future will flourish with every heart beat sweat tear prayer our seed will rise as high as the clear blue sky be not ready got to keep it steady not racing running ready green light go all the way up turn up show up ready our not we will rise together divided we shall fall much love to one and all past and future
