The Golf Walk

It's just a walk, six or seven k's

But it always takes you the longer way

A little left, a little right

And somehow you're further than you planned

You start off strong, you feel in control

Then one small moment changes the whole

You'd set your direction, you took your stand

But life won't always follow what you planned

There are times you lock in, hold your breath

Like one small move decides what happens next

Sometimes it lands, sometimes it's rough

You must quickly reset, you must get back up

Is it just a walk, is it just a day

Or the way you keep going anyway

One minute you're flying, the next you're not

But you keep moving forward

Cause you don't get far by fighting it

No it's never just six kilometres

But you must keep walking anyway

You see who people are when things go wrong

When the smile fades and the mask is gone

Some blame the world, some slam the door

Some breathe it out and come back for more

And pressure's strange, it sneaks in fast

Turns something small into something vast

But character shows in what you do

When the moment's heavy and it's all on you

And sometimes the best thing you can do

Is stop the chase and just follow through

Drop your shoulders, loosen your grip

Let it come to you instead of chasing it

Is it just a walk, is it just a day

Or the way you keep going anyway

One minute you're flying, the next you're not

But you keep moving forward

Cause you don't get far by fighting it

No it's never just six kilometres

But you must keep walking anyway

You can't look backwards, you can't rewind

You can't stay stuck in yesterday's mind

What's done is done, it's out of your hands

So don't build your future on what won't stand

Drop the weight, let it go

Take the next step nice and slow

Cause the future's waiting down the track

And you won't get far looking back

Is it just a walk, is it just a day

Or every hard lesson along the way

Some days you feel steady

Some days you're ready to walk away

But you keep moving forward

Cause the only way on is sticking with it

No it's never just six kilometres

But you must keep walking anyway

Yeah you must keep walking anyway.
