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
