A great big field underneath a deep blue sky
Filled with wonders of pain and delight
Each step you take is a great big mystery
It's almost as if there's no end in sight

Steps in grasses tickle your feet
Walking faster because of the joy you meet
A single step turns into pain
A tiny pebble comes out to play

You drip in sweat and cry out your tears
Looking around you, seeing what's near
You turn to see the steps you took
A delightful sight with just one look

You look back at the steps you'll take
And try to think of the choice you'll make
Behind looks a bit more fun
But forward is where you'll see the sun

A simple glance at the road ahead
You sighed aloud and then you said
"I cannot predict what the future holds,
But perhaps closer, the beauty unfolds."

You walk past the trials, the challenges and more
And now you see there is so much more
Behold a light that shines for you
Behold, you see a beautiful view

You thank the past for the road ahead
For all the treasures and lectures that's said
For life is more beautiful than what we seem
For our dreams that we may soon redeem

Are just along the road ahead
And never stop until you've reached the end
