lyrics

even steps
brought me here

even my sense of duty
would not have
brough such a path
just even steps

it's the heartbeat that makes a life
one full life

any road I ever walked
even when it seemed to be a new moment
every single road
even if I knew
where I thought I was going
was just another step
and now I see
it

on the rails
on the way
such smooth path
in and out
every day
I was coming to this place

coming to this place

and now I see you
and how you are so travel-worn
we are each uniquely born
and you've got such a dragon's stride
that dragon's stride
that jagged way of coming to
even the most important possibilities
with a fire and a tooth
I can see those mountain paths in you
something I haven't done
but could I do?
could I do?
could I do?

even steps
have brought me to the precipice
I'm seeing now
there's more than this
