Nothing Can Stand In My Way
It’s a sunny day; nothing can stand in my way
 And my mind, body, and soul is strengthened by running
 In the distance, I see a hill
 But it’s a sunny day, and nothing will stand in my way
 The trees surround me, lean and green
 The sky is blue, the breeze is cool
 Birds sing and dance, as I run passed
 It’s a happy day in this forest I live in at last!
 No rain, no pain, nothing but glory to gain
 I hear dogs barking, plants whistling as I run passed
 Nature’s natural music rings in my ears
 No fear, nothing but freedom and cheer
 But this happiness does not last
 My thighs burn as the hill seems steeper
 Sweat drips down the side of my face
 as the warm sun beams down on me
 One, Two, Three heavy strides forward
 Ten, thirty, forty, fifty, and the hill is gone
 I see a path made of grey hard stone, nice and flat
 I feel at last, this life and nature that surrounds me
 ‘cause it’s a sunny day, and nothing stands in my way
