Life Is a Highway
We are all distant travellers
In this world full of strangers,
Journeying through valleys and plains
Nor taking path on tops or sides of mountains.
Each one of us has his own backpack
As we follow a trail without turning back,
When our feet sore and feel like giving up
We will look for a ride that offers us a kind hop.
Our journey does continuously go
As we anticipate a place where we don’t know,
However, this would never be the right thing to do
Be certain, take a breath as we go through.
If we cross our fingers and focus on our goal
We possibly reach the place, the desires of our soul,
If checkpoint stops us in any time of the day
Smile! Then, we’ll travel smoothly and freely on life’s highway.
