In the middle of the road
Betwixt the twilight, amid the dusk
The night gave way to a new day
The darkness gave in to a bright new light
The dawn called up the morning dew
In the middle of this road
Sleep was awakened
In the middle of the night
A new day was born for posterity to relish eternity
A new age was grown into maturity
A new way was paved out of uncertainty
In the middle of this day
The sun shone upon a new day
As it was said
If at first you fail to walk through the Isle of fate
Try and trot, try and trek
A journey takes the first step
A journey of a thousand miles
So it was said
If a first attempt makes a failed attempt
Learn to tame your fears, easy and fast
Learn to bear your tears as it lasts
Learn to tear your fears to trickle into droplets
And it was said
Bide your time through the years
Tarry every now and then
Hurry not to run ahead
Worry not about a thing
Wear a thick skin
Next year, something is bound to happen
And it was still said
This year, bide your time
Morning, noon, and evening
Next year, cease the tide of time
When you see it happening
Make hay while the sun keeps shining
Perhaps, as a shocking awakening
To behold what the future is holding in store
Baby don’t you forget
We got to keep a date
If the train arrives long after eight
Be still, and still wait
It will not be late
Don’t you be late!
Arrive to hold what the future has in store
II
It is a one-way road from here
Every turn leads back to you
It leads from me to you
By this time next year
