A thousand miles,
A dream comes true.
The sky shines bright,
A peaceful blue.
But who cares? No one is near—
A thousand miles,
Who stops to hear?

I have my steps,
One and two,
Struggling patiently,
It isn’t easy to do.
Still, I live with tricky fear—
That clings to me year by year.

A thousand miles,
No one I knew—
But then you came
With paths in view.
You interfered
To calm my fear,
And in your words,
I found my cheer.

I have my steps,
No road is new.
My heart revives,
My strength renews.
Your words still echo in my ear,
Morals you teach, a life you steer.
