You said the longer road
Is the path that proves what's true
To let go and walk away
Is what weaker people do
You called it vision, you drew the line
You worked it out in your own design
And it might take a while longer
But you know the proof will show in time
She was too far above your world
A star striding upon the stage
You shifted center to reach for her
Moved the compass across your page
You changed your frame of reference
To make it work for one more day
You were oh so kind and deferent
But the model slipped away
Another arc sketched a brace
To make it still align
You saw it work before
It will work again this time
You made a space upon the chart
To keep your mind at ease
You turned the arrow pointing forward
To find a different East
You said it proved itself
With every added line
The more it failed to hold
The more it seemed to shine
Another curve to dodge the truth
Before the ink was even dry
Another line wedged on the paper
Another circle in the sky
You made the system beautiful
So you wouldn't have to move the sun
