I built my fences 500 miles wide
and now all my ponies think they're running wild
but they're still safe within my range
when you think for yourself ain't life strange
I build my bridges 500 miles straight
so the other rivers wouldn't get in my way
and now they flow beneath my dry and dusty trail
when you think for yourself ain't life frail
when you think for yourself, sometimes you fail
every step you take could mean a fall
every move, could break you after all
you may be afraid don't keep it to yourself
then you'll be amazed along with everyone else
Go build a mountain 500 miles high
seeded with timber, clean to the sky
climb to the top, and slowly turn around
when you think for yourself you won't come down
when you think for yourself it doesn't make a sound
every step you take could mean a fall
every move, could break you after all
you will be afraid don't keep it to yourself
then you'll be amazed along with everyone else
