I Will Learn.

I've been told there will always be a river
A little to wide
For me to jump in
And swim to the other side
My legs will tire, my arms lose control
I smile and nod
Not listening at all

I've been told there will be a mountain
That touches the sky
I won't be able to make it
A mountain I can't climb
The slope too deep,
It's a slip and slide
I've been told to find a mountain not so high
Because there's a mountain I can't climb
I smile and nod
Not listening at all

Rivers bigger than I
Mountains in the sky
I've been told I won't make it
I smile nod
Not speaking a word
Until I part my lips and say
"I will learn."
