Halfway Down

People wanted to see the view From halfway down This life their leading Down the wrong paths With the wrong map With shoes too big With rocks in the way Is tiring And I know somewhere There’s a place where People who didn’t want to Walk any further Told each other about What they saw From halfway down The river and the lake The mirror and the bathroom floor The rocks that looked so small From so high up Maybe they could’ve gotten over them after all But the view from halfway down Was a sight to see before you died Because once you got that close You could really see the details Appreciate the little things And the things that looked little From high above But once you get so close to the edge To the end You finally appreciate the little things Only when you make it Halfway down
