Rush

Rush not my child
For the road is long
When the world puts you down
Sing your lost song

Rush not my child
For the light will guide your way
At moments of impasse
You’ll find the words to say

Rush not my child
For this life is yours alone
Remain focused and headstrong
This will always be your home
