doing what has to be done (rewrite 1)


I went out walking
to get my feet moving
I need to get my heart rate up
I feel my health improving
with every step I take
on this sidewalk of cement
I watch out for cars
I don't want an accident
it's just me
out in the midday sun
doing what has to be done

I started listening
to the voices of my heart
I hope I hear some wisdom
but I don't know where to start
so I keep on listening
there's so much I need to hear
if I didn't have these voices
I think I might disappear
it's just me
looking out for number one
doing what has to be done

          I can't live
          the way I did before
          so I'm heading out
          I've opened the back door

I stopped pretending
I only know what I do
still I look for opportunities
for life to pull me through
to show me a way
only I could know
I need to find out
which direction to go
I feel like it's ending
but I know it's just begun
I'm just doing what has to be done
