New Song

You've heard it said that practice does make perfect
Well not quite but it is true that lifes a race
Practice gives the currently impossible a bright shining light
You can't lift it now but train and months later you might

So don't hold so tight onto who you thought you were

I become what I previously was not thinking of, now I give more love
Capable now of things usually beyond what I've got, and what I'm not

Pieces of me I give with hopes of changing
A little here a little there I give as much as I can
Over time I see the shine take off the blind and let it glisten
Take chances here advances there speak O Lord and I will listen

I won't hold on so tight onto who I thought i was

I become what I previously was not thinking of, now I give more love
Capable now of things usually beyond what I've got, and what I'm not

You can't sit here and wait for the train to come by
When all of the people on the side
Are waiting for you to learn to fly
It means realizing that not a thing that is good
And worth giving everything is instantaneously achieved
So take a bit of time and wait for the people talkin "find"
And work on the thing you got in mind
You know its the way to live alive
Now we're makin progress and takin steps within the race
Every day we're gonna make it
Closer to the prize

I become what I previously was not thinking of, now I give more love
Capable now of things usually beyond what I've got, and what I'm not

I chuckled when I read the first two lines. I always tell my students "practice doesn't make perfect, it makes better."

Can't wait to hear it!
