I don't know why the mountain
Stands taller than the hill
I don't know how spiders
Spin silver webs
But i remember what you said to me

Learn to creep before you walk
Learn to think before you talk
Learn to look before you jump
Learn to sing before you sink

I went up on the mountain
To see what I could see
The wind tears the old web down
Dead bugs are lying next to me
Then i remembered what you said to me

Learn to walk before you fly
Learn to talk before you start
Learn to jump before you run
Learn to sink before you cry

Because the singers sing
And the crooners croon
About empty mornings
And the indiana moon
And the losers lose
So you don't write me anymore
I want to
Learn to fly before I crash
Learnto start before I stop
Learn to run before I crawl
Learn to live before I die
Learn to live before I die
