Thanking the Obstacles


Obstacles move away.

I've got my eyes ahead.

Obstacles step aside.

I can see that world of mine.

Obstacles go away.

I can sweat my way through.

Obstacles, step off.

I've got a job to go to.

Obstacles, let's part ways.

There's a better life waiting for me.

Obstacles, always there.

Oh, you pushed me ahead?

Obstacles, so persistant.

You say I needed you?

Obstacles in my way.

You forced me to find my dreams?

Obstacles all the way.

Thank you.
