Sometimes it seems that all my tires do is spin
No matter how I go, I cannot ever win
I’m accelerating on a bed of ice
And get stuck even deeper however many tries
I have zero traction when I try to make a turn
Direction is not changeable until I crash and burn
I press the brakes, there’s nothing there, the pedal hits the floor
I’m skidding, sliding, swerving just to keep from hurting more
I can see where I should go, I just can’t find out how
There is too much snow and ice to leave where I am now
Until I realize, it’s my tires, and get out of my car
Can’t change the road but I can change what all my actions are
On skis I learn to glide and ride together with the snow
I can turn and steer with ease toward where I want to go
I pick up speed, I slow and stop, I’m fully in control
The snow and ice no longer block, but help me reach the goal
