How To Get From Here To There

It's hard to get from here to there
If you never get out of bed
You lie a lot to fool your friends
But you've fooled yourself instead

It's hard to get from here to there
If you set your goals too high
Then nothing ever works out right
too soon you no longer try

But the hardest way to get from here to there
Is when all you ever do
Is count up the years and miles to go
Then you're through before you're through

So how do you get from here to there
Well you first must believe you can
Let no one tell you differently
It's your life and it's in your hands

Then turn your dreams into your goals
And see what you need now
To satisfy the requirements
The why the where the how

At first you are overwhelmed of course
There is so much that you don't know
But keep your faith be strong and sure
For you have a way to go

Take careful steps and do them right
Take pride in each thing done
Don't look too far ahead of yourself
Just that next step yet to come

Before you know it you'll be there
Your dream will then be real
And you'll be standing where I am now
Telling others how good it feels

You tell them not to quit themselves
To have faith though it's hard to bear
So they will know it can be done
They too can get from here to there.
