Not As Far 歌词

I will stand stop everything that is mine All thats around, beneath and inside I'll show courage when I feel weak I will listen much more than I speak I will accept the good Show more patience than I usually would Sure as we'll someday grow old I will fight for the ground that I hold No one said it would be easy With everyday its a little less hard Stay pointed to where I am going With everyday its not as far Every chance I get, I'll try to express Give thanks for how much I've been blessed Sure to take pride in all I do Be someone my people can bare witness to I'm not trying to preach or impose I'm a work in progress and so it goes And sure as the next day will come I'll work til my work is done I will shake this hurried notion That the best is yet to come I will stumble here and there The straight and narrow, easier said than done
