Martha, Martha

Martha, Martha, i will get there yet
Martha, Martha, on that you can bet

the tree is in the future
its reach i've not attained
i see it in the distance
it keeps me entertained

i am one step closer
and then closer even still
and suddenly that tree
is behind me down the hill

Martha, Martha, i will get there yet
Martha, Martha, on that you can bet
Moving, running, tired, scared
Martha, Martha we will get there yet

and now to shift my focus 
on a light pole down the street
the light pole of the future
soon enough i'll meet

and before i can even blink
the street light has arrived
and then poof! it has vanished
right before my eyes

Martha, Martha, i will get there yet
Martha, Martha, on that you can bet
Moving, running, tired, scared
Martha, Martha we will get there yet
