To Bridge The Gap

The gap between who I should be

And who I am right now
Seems far too wide for me to bridge,
But I’ll bridge it somehow.
For, on the other side of it,
Lies all you want from me
And I will find a way to be
Who you want me to be.
So I will build it, stone by stone,
And lay each timber strong,
Until I cross it and can stand
With you, where I belong.
