TO WALK UP, YOU MUST WALK DOWN
BY ANTHONY DIMEOLA
 
 

As I walk
Down the street
Children play
And their friends

Down the street
That's where I go
And their friends
Not with me

That's where I go
There's a dog
Not with me
I walk alone

There's a dog
It's following me
Not with me
But with my spirit

It's following me
The path I take
But with my spirit
I fly inside

The path I take
The hardest task
I fly inside
I have a friend

The hardest task
How is this possible?
I have a friend
Just like me

How is this possible?
He's so happy
Just like me
In my dreams

He's so happy
I wonder
In my dreams
Flying like me

I wonder
Could he stay?
Flying like me
Together forever

Could he stay?
I have no room
Together forever
In a tiny shoe

I have no room
Will he be happy?
In a tiny shoe
To live and die

Will he be happy?
He looks up and wags his tail
To live and die
He won't mind

He looks up and wags his tail
I will be happy
He won't mind
And I won't either

As I walk
There's a dog
I walk alone
Children play
