A long way stretches out before me
A path that winds and turns, wild and free
It calls to me, a siren's gentle song
A journey waits, where will it take me along?
The distance beckons, a mysterious haze
A veil that shrouds the future's uncertain ways
I take a step, and then another, and another still
The long way unfolds, and I follow its gentle will
The road rises up, a serpentine climb
A test of strength, a trial of the heart and mind
But with each step, I find my footing sure
The long way unwinds, and I'm drawn to its distant allure
The long way stretches out, a seemingly endless road
A path that's fraught with challenge, yet beckons me to go
I'll walk the miles, and count the cost
For in the journey's heart, a secret truth is lost
The wind whispers secrets, of the way ahead
A mysterious language, that only the heart can read
I'll listen closely, and follow its gentle breeze
For in its whispers, lies the wisdom of the trees
The sun beats down, a fiery hammer's blow
A test of strength, a trial of the will to go
But I'll press on, through heat and rain and night
For in the long way's heart, a beacon shines, a guiding light
The stars appear, a twinkling celestial sea
A reminder of the magic, that's waiting there for me
I'll walk the long way, through the dark and the light
For in its depths, lies a treasure, that's worth the fight.
