Kerry Logan - Progression Lyrics

Run the race into life
There are hills and valleys along the way
Pick your feet up - rise again
You'll be floored many more times yet
It's not the fastest or the highest
You can't measure life from pace
The only way into life
Is intent to always move ahead one step at a time

Turn away into life
Walk ahead to a light
I know there is no other way

Stand me up to the light
I cast a shadow black as anything
Stand me up to another man
More oft than not I bet I'd pale against the human candle
But, this I see is a part of me
A need to measure when the measuring's done
Just let it go - move on by
One foot ahead of the other - go on, distance yourself

We elect few that walk on by
The race is won, we are sure of it
We are deceptive in our size
We are weighed, never counted
When the end-line, I meet
I will see a win I should never have
For the sweat was never mine
Once I knew this I only ran ahead step after step after step
