So I Walk On

I walk and walk and walk
My legs grow weary
My mouth thursts
But I will not stop
I will not lie down
I will not stear towards water
I do not know where I am headed
Nor the turns in this road
I know only, "I will follow"

I follow this sun
I follow this wind
This sound that leads me
I do not know who or what it is
Only that I cannot live unless I keep on following
So I will walk as long as it takes

Till my legs fall off
Till I'm on my face
Till I physically cannot move anymore
I must find out what lies ahead
What if I stopped
What if the end had been right around the corner

I canot stop...I musn't...I will not!
I will continue
I will search
Until I've found what I live for
What my very heart is beating for
What I'm breathing for
What I hope to see
Every time I open my eyes

Look around the corner
I will see it!
I will continue!
I will press on for I know I must
I will reach my prize!
So I walk on...
