Are you on the other side
Of the proverbial downhill ride?
Are you caught in the drag
Or held up by a snag?
Is winning out of view?
Do you dream of something new?
Does time for you just come and pass
Can you from you past unclasp?
Is life for you just a charade?
Has it rained on your parade?

Every time we relent
We move closer to a tent
Standing up requires a price
We can’t live by throwing dice.
Stability is what we need
It is the reason men are freed
