Up and Down

Going where I have to go
Up and down the hall
Up and down

Is it the same
Or is it different
Every time
Every time

Learning what I
Have to learn
Going where I
Have to go

Learning…going .
Up and down
How many times
Many times

Will I get it..
Will I..

Get it..
Be it..

Can I be and not get
Can I go and not learn

Of course!
Who’s in charge
Around here
Anyway?
