Lyrics
There are things that shine so bad
There are valuable things that may appear problematic or challenging.
It virtually drives you mad
These things can drive you crazy or make you feel overwhelmed.
When you set out you're so blind
When you start a journey, you may lack awareness or understanding.
Sticks and stones is all you'll find
Obstacles and difficulties are all that you'll encounter.
So I tried to get a head start
Attempting to gain an advantage or head start.
And follow people who were smart
Following those who are intelligent or experienced.
But those footprints were so deep
But their influence or impact is profound and challenging.
I got so tired I walked in my sleep
Experiencing fatigue to the point of walking in one's sleep.

-That's when you know it's real gold
