There's a metaphorical flow to it all you know
It might be spiritual, influenced by God
Or quantum molecular, matter influencing thoughtlessly
But we all see the speed of life
Sometimes life is an obstacle course
Adversity and adventure ever present
Action helping shake the dust off the bones
Sometimes the boat leads you
Water taking you to the place you planned
Your jigsaw skin fitting more comfortably
Sometimes though
The reality wraps around your feet with a binding
And the signposts only show question marks
When that happens remember how the flow works
Even at one mile an hour, a day, a week
You are still moving
You're the only one with the brake
Unstoppable is still unstoppable
No matter how fast you go

You're the only one with the brake
Unstoppable is still unstoppable
No matter how fast you go
