I tread the tree lined path again
Looking forward and facing down
It’s always this way
Just a little further
I face the journey
Making strides
Sturdy limbs cast freely along the trail
The sun cast over us all
At last, the stream
Dreamlike, wandering below the bridge
Looking forward and facing down
It’s always this way
Just a little further
I face the journey
Making strides
Sturdy limbs cast freely along the trail
The sun cast over us all
At last, the stream
Dreamlike, wandering below the bridge
