lyrics

Hidin’ away in foreign places,
The foreign place of their minds.

Ignoring everything left behind
Further away the problems leave their minds
Thinkin’ all they do is in control.
All the time they're steppin’ and
Cannot see the problems of their own.

Step First
Look Last
Step First
Look Last

Step First
Look Last
Step First
They cannot see the problems of their own

You gotta find a way...

I take my time to focus on whatever's real.
Put up my shield to keep those out who try to deal
a badder hand or grab my land quick fast and seal
my fate, or those that's in my square just trying to feel
what don't belong to thee.
I look first then step stronger. Keep
problems under arm released
once I see the stars retreat.
Music is my armor. Peep
another way to calm the beast
within my pen, longing for sleep,
finally found some peace.

It ain't too late to make it...

Step First
Look Last
Step First
They cannot see the problems of their own
