Run the Path You’re On
Some pretty grim words the doctor said
Reality rears its ugly head
Everything stops, and time goes missing
And all of your friends are going out of their heads
Some of them acting like you're already dead
So you say, "Hey, come on. Listen."
You want to know what you can do, I'll tell you
Mind what you have, live for today
And run the path you're on
Cherish the past, let come what may
But run the path you're on
The path you’re on
There’s tests and treatments, nurses and docs
Some days are gold, some a bag of rocks
And all you want to do, is stop thinking
One step forward on the road ahead
Then two steps back, as is often said
So I guess, it’s Fair Dinkum
Just a down under way to say it’s true, you’ve got to
Mind what you have, live for today
And run the path you’re on
Cherish the past, let come what may
But run the path you’re on
The path you’re on
When all you’ve given and left behind
Finally gives you some peace of mind
In a timeline not of your choosing
Now maybe there really is something more
When we go knocking on that final door
But until then just keep moving
Toward the moments we have in sight, won’t you
Mind what you have, live for today
And run the path you’re on
Cherish the past, let come what may
But run the path you’re on
The path you’re on
