life is measured my inches
by steps taken one at a time
not by the height of the peak we speak
but each little rise we climb
the span of our life is measured
minute by minute - not years
we live in a very small world of our own
in a vast universe of spheres
yes, life is measure by inches
but inches can add up too far
a light-year is only inches away
we can inch our way up to a star
