The journey may seem unclear
It is with your own eyes
That you must see
The journey may seem far
It is with your walk
That you must part a way
The journey may seem cold
It is with your warmth
That they must feel
The journey may seem dark
It is with your light
That you must share
The journey may seem heartless
It is with your eternal
That you are deathless
The journey may seem silent
It is with your breath
That you are heard
The journey may seem dark
It is your self
That you must find
The journey may seem soundless
It is your echo
That will live to tell
The journey may seem everlasting
It is your only chance
That is the way …
