Take a left,
Walk past the willow tree then take your first right,
Left again.

I promise it gets easier the more you walk it.
I’ve been down this path so many times,
Yet I still get lost sometimes
Navigating in the darkness by my own sparks.
Here,
Here’s a candle to help you light your way.
It get’s easier when you have a friend there to help you.

It’s that load,
Isn’t it?
Let me carry it for you,
I can manage for both of us,
I promise we can make it.
This will work, just keep holding on
But don’t hold out on me.
Let me help you carry your burden,
I am strong today.

Up the hill again we go,
Our bleeding feet leaving trails behind us,
To mark our path so we can find our way back,
Or perhaps to let others know where to go next.
It doesn’t matter,
What does is that we keep walking,
Don’t go easy into the night,
Fight for that breath to be yours.
I will fight for you to,
I will.
