You stand at my side As I walk, down old steps Of these stairs Filled with memories That I still live today But in the sunset Of my heart I let them go and say goodbye Now you lead me, by the hand And point at my new way So I take each new step Towards this desert of unknown I make new stairs With the sand, of my past The sunrise lies Now straight ahead As I climb even faster To touch the sun, of my hope I have reached it It shines bright The path before me Was not there, yet now it is I look back, and my footsteps Have washed away I learned from them But I moved on From the sun, to the moon From the moon, to the stars No end now, as I climb My new stairs With this shield Of my hope
