Lyrics

On a dusty road walks a simple man and his shadow goes in front of him.
Looks it in the eye says get out of my way. ?cause this time I?m bustin? through.
I?m gonna fly into the arms of love.
I?ve made my plans. Planned my schemes. But this simple man has to learn.

I can feel my own heart beating.
History should clue me in.
Those mistakes aren?t worth repeating.
I must wise up or I?ll be going back again.

I could hold a grudge. I could talk it out. If I?d learn to trust even a little.
I could rise above these little things.
Minutia frustrating me. But this treadmill won?t slow me down.


Open up my eyes there?s a rainbow.
Open up my eyes there I am.
Wish that I could fly into that rainbow.
If I?d get out of the way of myself.
