The Extra Mile

(album: Believe - 2009)

It hurts to walk this gravel road
It's hard to find and overgrown
You will see how much I'm worth
When you get passed the rocks and dirt

Come on walk with me
I'm the extra mile

When you do, you're gonna fall
And wonder why you walked at all
Young and weary and wanna stop
'Cause every hill takes all you got

Come on walk with me
Oh, I'm the extra mile

I'm that smile you give a stranger
When you'd rather turn your head
I'm that book you read your children
When you'd rather be in bed

I'm forgiveness that you give
When you don't think you can
Forgive somebody one more time

At the end there's no parade
Just you and me to celebrate
How far you've come by choosing me
How you ignore those tired feet

Come on walk with me
Oh, I'm the extra mile

I'm that sacrifice you make
For someone you don't know
I'm that teardrop for the soldier
You read about at home

I'm that love you give somebody
Who doesn't give it back
Come on walk with me a while

Oh, I'm the extra mile
Oh, I'm the extra mile, yeah

Being more than what you see
Takes all of you and one of me

Come on walk with me
I'm the extra mile
I'm the extra mile

Oh, I'm the extra mile
Oh, I'm the extra mile
Baby, I'm the extra mile, yeah
