My step never faltering

All my songs are about the path
All my sighs are about the path
All my steps are on this path

Whirling
Winding
Wandering

Seasons flitting by
Years rushing by
Faces fading by

My step never faltering.

Smiling, as I say goodbye.
Teary eyed, as I say welcome.
Breathless as I grow new lungs.

Ever changing
Ever breathing
Ever growing.

Dear brother
Dear sister
Dear friend

Are you close?
Are you here?
Are you lost?

I can still hear you.

My step never faltering

I cannot linger
I cannot wander
I cannot turn back.

They told me in a dream
They told me in a song
They told me in a story

About the dangers of turning back.

And yet,

I keep your words in my heart.
I keep your smiles in my heart.
I keep your heartbeat in my heart.

This new home I build
This new life I weave.
This new path I cleave.

I carry it on my back.
It carries me on its back.

A home that grows with me.
A home that walks with me
A home that changes with me.

My step never faltering.

Your echoes guide me
Your echoes gladden me.
Your echoes call me.

Will you forget me?
Will I forget you?
Will we cross path again?

I hope
I pray
I know

In this world or the next,

Kindred souls
Loving souls
Compassion souls

Always find each other again.

On we go
On and on we go.

Our steps never faltering.
