Every Milestone Counts

Every milestone counts along the way They tell how far from hell I am How near to eternity draws the day. I have left the plains since morning The hill gets steeper day by day I walk to meet sunrise and keep going The sun gets tired, yes, and goes to sleep, But I keep on going up this hill While they my commitment perfect keep Every milestone counts along the way And takes me nearer to my home A little while longer, I am not far away.
