Lyrics from “Sweeping Up My Own Side of the Street” by Sue Riley & Melinda Wood Allen:  

 

“Taking time to stop and smell the roses on the way, planting what I want to see, 

pruning what’s not serving me, tending my own garden every day.

 

I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. Every step I take just moves me closer to my dreams.  

Your grass might be a brighter green. That’s for you, not for me.  I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.

 

Not gonna be the one to cast a stone. Won’t point a finger at your faults, got plenty of my own. 

‘Cause, when I toss that judgment thing, it comes back like a boomerang.

 

I’m sweeping up my own side of the street, clearing out the clutter, pulling up the weeds, finding out it’s quite enough just taking care of my own stuff, sweeping up my own side of the street.”
