almost there!

I kept rushing to success

unable to mind little things

that are far better important

than what I've always thought.

 

I raced without pacing,

raced without minding,

raced without looking back,

raced, rushed, raced, rushed.

 

I hurried too much to achieve success,

hurried, hurried, hurried.

 

And yes, I'm almost there,

I was almost there,

almost there.

 

But I rushed too much,

Raced with the time,

Rushed too much,

Unable to notice what's left behind.

 

And there, I ended up forgetting

what must I bare in mind,

what lessons to look back for,

Unable to notice what's left behind.

 

Now, I'm here, back again

to the starting line,

Getting more far to success.

 

And looking in front

I could see many people ahead of me,

These are the people who used

to be chasing me before.

 

And now, here I am,

Chasing them.

These people who took time

to understand the world,

who took time to know the importance

of life's purposes and true meaning,

The people who patiently understand everything.

 

Here I am again,

Making a new beginning,

Aiming for success,

But this time, it would be different,

'cause I've learned my lessons well.
