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
