The Extra Mile

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 choosin' 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

Bein' 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
