Used to drive to Nebraska
Spending days watching exit signs count down
Like the launch of a NASA
Shuttle, wide open space is all around
Interstate constellations
Whispered secrets of scenic memories
But now I'm more productive
Traded in both my ears for higher speeds
As if busyness is victory
But contentment is the war
The moments that once held beauty
Are no longer fought for
The battlefield of progress leaves
The patient far behind
But even in the process he
Can still feel satisfied
So don't you stop for a minute
Get your spirit in it
Keep your head up and your hope alive
Every moment you're living
Is something you're given
Don't get stuck waiting for the right time
Keep taking steps and you'll arrive
Can I skip to the good part
Trying to catch the highlights of my own life
Never thought it'd be so hard
Moving forward one moment at a time
Dramatizing the routine
Like it's a theatrical screenplay
But I'm the only one acting
Trying to hide my disdain for the mundane
As if normal is a negative
And daily's a disease
The writing of his story stops
When it's not fantasy
The dragon must be slain it's true
But not 'til chapter five
Don't forget; in chapter four
The hero's still alive
So don't you stop for a minute
Get your spirit in it
Keep your head up and your hope alive
Every moment you're living
Is something you're given
Don't get stuck waiting for the right time
Keep taking steps and you'll arrive
So don't you stop for a minute
Get your spirit in it
Keep your head up and your hope alive
Every moment you're living
Is something you're given
Don't get stuck waiting for the right time
Keep taking steps and you'll arrive
