boulder

I will push this boulder

to the top of the hill

even if it takes all day

maybe I can do it

I know that I will

if somebody shows me the way

maybe use a pick-up

or some kind of truck

plus a measure or two

of fortune's good luck

I can do it

I know I can

the future is now

the time is at hand

I will push this boulder

all the way down

when the time is right

maybe late afternoon

right before

the day turns into the night

it just takes some doing

not too much force

just determination

to follow the course

of events that I

may never understand

the future is now

the time is at hand

I will push this boulder

as far as it goes

I am not pretending

I can't move mountains

but you know I can try

to make it to the ending

one more push

I stretch and I strain

trying to hurry

so I won't be to blame

I'll see that boulder

go back to the land

the future is now

the time is at hand
