Obstacles

Obstacles great and small

Stand in my path to form a wall

And challenge me to find another way

If I were a constable

Answering your call

I'd never see these obstacles at all

And walk through them like puddles in the rain

Obstacles that gather here

Laugh in my face and taunt my fears

And tower like a mountain to the sky

If I were an architect

With a vision and a plan

All barriers would fall at my command

Till life before these obstacles began

If I were a scientist

With equations in my brain

I'd calculate these obstacles away

And smash through them like puddles in the rain

And every motivation, every undertaking

Feeds a passion for a phase

Where hopefully your sympathy awaits

Where obstacles were gone as yesterday
