I'm a big fan of song lyrics.  I am totally convinced they are modern day poems.  Anyway, this is one of the songs I just love lately.  It's by the Gabe Dixon Band.  And if you haven't heard of them check them out on itunes. 
Anyway, this is the song......Further the Sky

When you don't know where you're going you don't know why
It feels like another day's bleeding into the night
Lay your head on my chest while my beating heart pounds out the secret of this life

The higher you reach, the further the sky
The more miles you walk, the longer the road
The steeper you climb, the harder you stand to fall
The stronger you get, the heavier the load

I wish I could you give the ansewers in paper and ink
I wish I could stop all the tears before they start falling
But we're feeling our way and we're always beginners
We're all cuts and no scars

The higher you reach, the further the sky

The more miles you walk, the longer the road
The steeper the climb, the harder you stand to fall
The stonger you get, the heavier the load

The bigger the dream, the rougher the ride
The truer the love, the deeper the ache
The blinder the faith, the tougher the goal

The higher you reach, the further the sky
The more miles you walk, the longer the road
The steeper you climb, the harder you stand to fall
The stronger you get, the heavier the load

I know, it's simple and it's been said in many different ways many times over, but I like it.  And when I like something I want to share it with the world.  Enjoy.
