One More Step

Under stinging sun,
I’m making tracks.
I can read my trail when I’m
Looking back.
I hold my soul in the
Palm of my hand,
Dropping pieces as I go
Across the land,

And up ahead,
The unknown.
Silent and patient.
Guarded and free.
With one more step it unfolds, but
It holds me back. Yeah,
It holds me back.

With hardened heart,
Under wrinkled skin,
My mind is the shelter I
Take comfort in, and
As things spin I’ve
Set my pace.
Gonna forage forward
To a greater place,

And up ahead,
The unknown.
Faceless and ancient.
Waiting for me.
With one more step it unfolds, but
It holds me back. Yeah,
It holds me back.

When the sun goes down on a
Peaceful night,
Stars wink at the Earth with their
Glimmering light.
As my weary shell is
Laid to rest,
I take in strength
For this mortal quest.

And up ahead,
The unknown.
Silent and patient.
Guarded and free.
With one more step it unfolds, and
You can’t go back.
No, you won’t go back.
