One... Two... One... Two...
One step in front of the other
Copycatting so it's alike another
One... Two... One... Two...
This is how the world turns
The individual's heart yearns
One... Two... One... Two...
Freedom, expression, limitless
Laughter, smiles no regrets
One... Two... One... Two...
Schoolbound, education, peers
Learning the meaning of fears
One... Two... One... Two...
Acceptance based upon expectation
Conforming to be part of the nation
One... Two... One... Two...
Married, 2.5 children, education, career
Shells when one looks in the mirror
One... Two... One... Two...
Emptiness, silence, ticking of the time
Cleanliness, last breaths, life halts the end of the rhyme
One... Two... One... Two...
