Petering out as I always do
As I climb a thousand steps
A thousand steps, a thousand steps
Steps that have no debt
Onwards, forwards, upwards
Through the mysteries yet untold
Comforted by my thoughts
As memories yearn so bold
Barriers beneath my feet
Break and scatter woes
Tis the sound to which I climb
Like a drum beat on my soles
Don\'t look down
Don\'t look back
Don\'t look side to side
Never doubt myself, I tell myself
For to live is not to hide
The precipice is reachable
When I open up my mind
With candor, care, and compassion
There\'s a love that\'s not so blind
To release the shackles that thwart my steps
A thousand steps that have no debt
Gives credence to a man alone
For above it all there is happiness
In a love that I call home
