There was a man who thought

He could avoid all of the things

That stood up in his way

Friends would say that he should

Plan to spend more time

There's lots of trouble in a day

With just enough work

And a short line to a goal

He was so sure he could secure his place

He wanted a lot and was so

Quick to say how this small

World was unfair to its race

He'd spend his time, spends his time

Deciding routes with lines, routes with lines

There was no time, was no time

For corners in the lines, corners in lines

Your pathway grows dark

Was clear at the start

You're not!

You're not!

You're not alone

Your pathway grows dark

Was clear at the start

You're not!

You're not!

You're not alone

Not listening to the people we were close

There always seemed to be an easy way

The work was tiresome, a thing to avoid

Leaving lots of time so he could play

He'd spend his time, spend his time

Shortening lines, shortening lines

There was no time, there was no time

To spend too long on the line, long on the line

Your pathway grows dark

Was clear at the start

You're not!

You're not!

You're not alone

Your pathway grows dark

Was clear at the start

You're not!

You're not!

You're not alone
