Eyes On the Sun

Dig your heels in like an oak
but push forwards like a river in flood
stand like a mountain
but fall like the rain

train as like for an exam
but exam let never come
feet on the ground
eyes on the sun

celebrate like its your wedding
and cry like greatest grief
explore the limits of your imagination
and your souls deepest deeps

ever move forward and
always never retreat
trust in your feet
do this and life will never repeat
