In The Walk

You can tell you know

Its really not that hard to see

Well for me

But you can tell

You know?

Its in the walk

Its always in the walk

Sometimes in the talk

But the talk can lie

Not so the walk

Here I’ll show you…

Over there, 

with the coloured hair

and the nose in the air

she can’t be heard

ease up a little

make the lady pass

ha her coils keep wrapping

round your eye sight dropping

you lost to the power of her bubbling….

What you say?

Oh that one?

Nah not one

Probably two

Nah she not lost

She just wondering what to do

She probably handling it on her own

Struggling to be a good mother

Hustling on her own

I see you starting to get it

I told you it not hard

When we got to talk

Open your eyes

And just watch the way they walk

Hmmm…ok…tell me about this one

HmmHmm

Ah ha

Hmmmm ok

Well you right about the confidence

That was plain to see

And yes you are right about the recklessness

To that I agree

But you missed that bit of insecurity

But she still pretty young

So you can forgive that easily

No we skipping this one

Because she’s to easy

Pure of heart, optimistic and happy-go-lucky

Now this lady right here

Is a ball of contradiction

Brimming with ambition

But lacking motivation

Ahhh over there

She knows who she is

Why she is

And what she all about

Every action there is purpose

And only sense come out her mouth

Now

This lady

This lady full of grace

Has weathered it all

In time and space

Within her is secreted the seed of wisdom

For she is a tree

Not no flibbetygibbet hurry go bring come

She walks with Time

Although she is tired

She’s regal and poised

And above all the noise

If not for her

Then where would be

That lady is all of us mother

Come let we go walk wit she
