about

If it doesn’t hurt, you’re not doing it right.

lyrics

Walk, walk, walking,
My feet shoes and socks-ing,
I can hear the concrete
As my heels pound down.

In my shoes and socks
I can’t touch the rocks,
My feet sweaty, cramped, and boxy.
It doesn’t take much moxie.

I want energized, courageous
Feet that feel the airy, spacious
Atmosphere, enlivened,
Feet whose sole’s have got their jive on!

I want arches, heels, and balls
That know the Earth like I know my palms,
I want calluses and toughness
So my toes withstand the roughness.

So I sit
And think,
And I listen to my feet
Pleading with me to let them breathe.

And then one
By one,
I kick off each shoe
And I peel off my socks, to boot,
Finally I’m free!
I feel the ground arise beneath me.

Runnin so fast,
My heels come in last,
I’m chasin after my toes.
Each bit of pain
Means I’m uppin my game,
As I relax and go with the flow.

Every texture
A different pleasure,
Unique and completely new sense.
Skin pressing down,
The pulse of the ground
Pressing back with equal intent.

I glide through the air,
The wind in my hair,
Twinges of delight up my spine.
Silent as space,
Happiness on my face,
As I run gracefully and aligned.
