Between a Rock & a Hard Place

The journey we took was overlong,
And the kids you know, weren’t very strong
They were first to fall to the heat’s embrace,
Between a rock and a hard place.

We were going in circles but I was hell bent,
To stay on the path and not relent
“Come on!” I said, “Pick up the pace!”
We’re between a rock and a hard place.

When we finally realised where we were,
Back where we started but worse for wear
You should have seen the look on her face,
There between a rock and a hard place.

I fell to my knees and cursed the sky,
All I wanted to know was why
But the angels must have spared their grace,
Between a rock and a hard place.

So there was no choice but to hit the track,
Knowing it would eventually bring us back
Back to the truths we have to face,
Between a rock and a hard place.
