Shoulder To Stone
Up a steep hill, I push a massive stone.
I am trying to get that big weight home.
But once at the top, down again it rolls.
Taking with it, all my dreams and goals.
Whatever happened to my aim,my plan?
Whatever became of that other man?
A bright path, grown darker by the mile.
Where's the zest, the hunger, the smile?
But in giving up, worse could be in store.
So shoulder to stone, I push once more.
