Walk On Until You Walk On Air
Walk on
Even when the wind is against you
Walk on
Even when the horizon evades you
To stumble is not to fall
To fall is not to be fallen
To mumble is not to call
To whisper is not to be silenced
Prepare for dust and ash
To lose is not to be forsaken
Invite every weight of life
To carry it, is not to be laden
Strength comes with every burden
Clarity comes with every distance
Fold your sleeves for every battle
Find a voice under the muzzle
As destiny nears, the long walk hastens
A sprint into the fate of tenacity
The run will drift on seas and oceans
Until you embrace your deserved destiny
Walk on
In the deep sands and thick mud, do not despair
Walk on
Keep walking until you walk on air
