Lyrics
We were charging, full throttle ahead
We were moving forward energetically and with full force.
We didn't think to look another way instead
We didn't consider alternative paths or options.
But when we reached a marked impasse
When we encountered a difficult situation or deadlock.
You said we probably came in way too fast
You acknowledged that we entered too quickly.
So you, you stayed back
You chose to stay behind.
To remind you to define you
To reflect on and define your identity.
You fell back
You stepped back to refine and design yourself.
To refine you and design you
Engaging in a process of self-improvement.
The sketch you scrawled did manifest
The idea you sketched out became a reality.
You kept what you needed, discarded the rest
You kept what was essential and discarded the unnecessary.
Having shed these things you took a step
After letting go, you took a step forward.
I knew right then you were better off less
I realized at that moment that you were better off with less.
So I, I stayed back
I chose to stay behind.
To remind me to define me
To contemplate and define my own identity.
I fell back
I stepped back to refine and design myself.
To refine me and design me
Engaging in a process of self-improvement.
If you don't, who will?
If you don't take action, who else will?
If you don't, who will?
Emphasizing the importance of personal responsibility.
If you don't no one will
No one else will take action if you don't.
So let's, let's stay back
Suggesting a joint decision to stay behind.
And remind us to define us
To collectively reflect and define ourselves.
Let's fall back
We fall back to refine and design our collective identity.
And refine us and design us
Engaging in a joint process of self-improvement.
Then work through what's ahead
Then we work through what lies ahead, incorporating our improvements.
