Orders

Before you learned how to march.

Trained to be given,

     relax and obey,

     trust and repeat me,

     give up every day.

Break free and realize,

     life is a thing,

     nothing lasts forever,

     what did you bring?

One step is beyond you,

     that's the one to take,

     it leads not to follow,

     your story to make.

You discovered to crawl,

     before learning to talk,

     now discover to live,

     as one standing to walk.
