The Well-Worn Path

Lock step motion, moving down the path
Never looking sideways, to the rear or ahead
Always moving forward, never ever last
See the guy in front of you blocking your path
Speed right on over him, never ever look back

Want to get ahead in life – well here is the path
You an individual can be at the head of the class
Follow the well-formed road, never ever off path
Forward always forward, never ever look back


You are an individual, this we decree
Go and get your degree, your car and your life
Follow the well-worn path, this we decree
You are an individual, because that’s what we sure see
But never ever ever do you get off the path
The well-worn path to living happily

Others have tried it, that is for sure
The road less traveled is a gravel road to hell
Why would you want to go down that nasty way?
Here is a well-worn path, the path to victory!

Hearing that still small voice, the one saying follow me?
Come meet our doctor, the one to share your victory.
Come meet our scientist who will show you the way
Come meet our teachers, the ones who will mold your way


Always an individual, always free
As long as you listen when we say
“Come follow me”

~Carl Holmes
