Walk Before You Run

In my youth i spent some time out on the fringes

Pushin' hard to see how far i'd go

There's existence on those wild and crazy edges

But you can bet your life it takes its toll

But part of knowin' who you are

Is knowin' who you ain't

And we all fall short of glory when we're young

But inside of all us sinners

There are little baby saints

Learnin' how to walk before you run

And you got to learn to walk before you run (dontcha' know)

And you learn to stand

For something or you'll fall

And you learn that lovin', knowin',

And believin' in yourself

Is all that really matters after all

Is all that really matters after all

Now lookin' from the other side of somewhere

I ain't got all the answers that's for sure

But if you're like me

You're gonna' have to learn the hard way

'cause nobody else can tell you who you are

And part of knowin' who you are

Is knowin' who you ain't

And we all fall short of glory, everyone

But inside of all us sinners

There are little baby saints

Learnin' how to walk before we run

(give us time lord, we'll make it)

We're just learnin' how to walk before we run
