Stepping Past the Stops

Stepping past the stops, looking for the nots Finding friends and family by stepping past the stops Forgetting my mistakes, for getting what it takes Forgetting every truthful lie, from your broken alibi I get another step past the stop Another foot towards the top Stepping past the stops looking for the nots Stumbling thru my foggy brain Searching for the right refrain I get another step past the stop Another foot towards the top I get another chance to say I tried I get another chance to prove you lied I get one more foot towards top One more step past the stop Counting keys and making noise Taking walks and finding toys Using thoughts, expressing words Hoping that the point is heard Stepping past the stop, looking for the nots
