Endurance

from Stepping Stones by Ian Doherty

lyrics

Tell me the last time you woke up
And didn’t feel so tired
When was the last time you kept a steady pace?
How many nights you’ve stayed up late
Burning both ends of the candle
Have you seen your face?

Remember the last time you walked out
And saw the stars above you?
Was it a pastime you would look forward to?
So many moment that you miss
When your thoughts are running faster
Than your feet can move

Just take a breath
It helps you think more clearly
You’ve been down this road
And you’ll be here again
In your reflection, do you see
The toll it’s taking on you,
Trying to outrun the past?
Thinking you could go that fast
But you’ve survived each time
So why’re you worried this could be
The last time?

Sing with me for one last time
Take a breath, and you’ll be fine
And breathing right is hard,
But your lungs are getting stronger
This doesn’t have to be the last time

Sing with me for one last time
Take a chance, and you’ll be fine
You know when life gets hard,
The journey will seem longer
But it doesn’t have to be the last time

Swim with me for one last time
Take a breath, and you’ll be fine
And if you’re drowning, take my hand
We’ll swim together
This doesn’t have to be the last time
