I could've spelled it out for you
The As and Bs and Cs
I could've reminded you what was required
If it was me that you wanted to please.
But if I'd spelled it out for you
It would've been far too clear
That the distance you were willing to go
Was: 'not too far from here'.
A man who dreams of building a bridge
So sturdy and so strong,
Will wake to live another day
Doing nothing to help it along.
Another man may see slow advance;
sometimes the bridge may fail,
But a ship pushing against the winds,
has, at least, set sail.
