Rough Patch

There’s a rough patch

in the green, green grass

where others have ridden and tried to drive past.

_

They zip and they fly

then skid and they slide

driving just way, way too fast.

_

But this rough patch, it’s always been there

out in the open and under plain air.

And for those with the time and strong will of mind

they can make it much further than there.

_

And after the patch?

Well they’d land on new land.

Past all the dirt and the scuff and the sand.

And they’d build a new home

and plant seeds they’d soon sow -

shouting their truth Yes, we can!

_

_

Oh, the places we’ll go!

Oh, the ways that we’d grow

if we drive by this rough patch just so
