Album: Never Give Up
Music: Alexis Vear and S. Hensley
Lyrics: Alexis Vear
Secret: I think this song says it all. My step was…undiagnosed dyslexia. My complicated brain is my greatest gift, and worst enemy, all at the same time. It definitely makes life very exciting.
……………………………………
I lived a few years, and I hope to live a lot more
The one thing that I know, Is that you just don’t know
What the future has in store
I don’t want to be a preachin mama, I am really just like you
But if I could just tell you one thing
I know this to be true
Chorus
I spent a lot of wasted years
Tripping on the step at the door
And the harder that I tried to balance myself
The harder that I hit the floor
When I learned of this analogy, it made a little sense
So I decided that I might try to build a great big fence
I blocked the step I tripped on, but became a prisoner of my own accord
Chorus
Piece by piece the fence came down, and on the step I tripped again
Then the answer came to me, as I sat on the step with a grin
The step was placed right where it should have been
And all the lessons I’ve learned are the very lessons that live from within
To think that I could be grateful, for taking all those falls
Seems odd to someone who hates suffering most of all
There will always be a step; there will always be a fall
But focusing on the step, will always ensure your worst downfalls
Chorus
When you’re laying on the ground
Feeling black and blue
And you feel like your ready to quit
Remember what I’m saying to you
It don’t matter if you trip
It don’t matter if you fall
Just get up even if you have to start with a crawl
Chorus
