Let the Other Shoe Drop
Let the other shoe drop - for I no longer care
Bad things can happen - anytime, anywhere
Just when we think - the worst is through
another worse something - arrives to us new
Its much like a shadow - that stays close by
hiding behind us - on light's other side
Yet we cannot see the bad - without the presence of good
For calling up up - in the absence of down - could not be understood
So what shall it be? - Should we dodge any risk
in the hopes that less living - will shorten the list?
Let the other shoe drop - Let it fall fast and far
We can take up the challenge - maybe rise to the stars
Don't step back from life - for the bad that can be
I have felt a shoe drop - and it hasn’t killed me
Like mines in a field - with heaven’s gate just in sight
we will not get to heaven - if we surrender to fright
Let the other shoe drop - I could use one more shoe
for I’ve only got one - and to walk further....I’ll need two
