The extra mile
You say it when you talk about someone
Who would make the extra effort
What for?
‘Cause this is the point
What are we making an effort for?
What are we making any effort for?
A house, a relationship, a cause?
A job, a family, an item of furniture?
I’m not one to slack off
Unless I feel what I do has got no purpose
But even in that case
I will apply myself occasionally
But I’ve got to see the point
In what I’m putting my time into
I’ll run the extra mile
For something that’s worth
But what is something that’s worth?
They say less is more
But sometimes less is just less
