We see all these little footprints on this path

and ask ourselves should we be on it

what happens if we get on, where will we go

if we turn around can we get off

is it safe, or how long is it we worry

then we get pushed on the path

people walk by fast as they hurry

I fall over but people keep on moving

what If I follow this person  over here

they seem to be walking fine

so I follow this person and take a shortcut

it didn't work, now I'm really stuck

so I push my way through branches and thorns

and get back on the path with all the footprints

I keep on going and rest on the way

but rest is short until we start again

we reach hills and mountains but they must be climbed

or else everyone will leave us behind

through rain and snow and every kind of storm we continue

we wear out our clothes and even our skin

but its almost over, there must be a reward

they're telling me that we are close , I can feel it too

I fall one last time and while I'm getting up

I see it in the distance, no more hills and mountains

I step into what I saw and these  footprints turn into travelers

we are here, we are safe, forever here to be
