The light turned red I stopped and fell into a song Or the lyrics Or the beat more likely I started to make them my own Just the cadence as a guide Reminiscing about things That never happen to me I allowed myself to float On that lake of stolen memories And then The light turned green While still shaking off the memories That clung to me like water I took my turn and rolled forward That is when it all exploded And I learned That just because it’s your turn Doesn’t mean you go next That knowledge came at the cost Of my left leg But it is ok Now I’m all right

And I Learned
The light turned red I stopped and fell into a song Or the lyrics Or the beat more likely I started to make them my own Just the cadence as a guide Reminiscing about things That never happen to me I allowed myself to float On that lake of stolen memories And then The light turned green While still shaking off the memories That clung to me like water I took my turn and rolled forward That is when it all exploded And I learned That just because it’s your turn Doesn’t mean you go next That knowledge came at the cost Of my left leg But it is ok Now I’m all right
