<b>Press Toward The Mark</b> by <i>Charlie Read</i><br />

Following the path of least resistance

Won't always take you where you want to go.

Flights of fancy often leave you stranded

Take it from a man who ought to know.

As a child four walls could not contain me

In my mind the universe was near.

Printed pages always took me soaring,

Breaking free from gravity and fear.

Walk with two feet on the ground,

With angels hovering all around.

Keep on following your dream,

Don't fall prey to "might have been,"

Never be afraid to start,

Then press toward the mark.

In this world there are so many voices

Hypnotizing, captivating men.

In my heart I've heard a higher calling,

Now I know I can't go back again.

Throw all your yesterdays away

Work in the fields while you play.

Stay away from those who claim

Everything must stay the same

Never be afraid to start,

Then press toward the mark.
