Steps

Today is just another step
Along the walk of life
Obstacles upon the road
Will no doubt cause you strife

Nothing’s insurmountable
You’ll always find a way
Unless you stop moving your feet
You can’t be led astray

Onward to the milestones
Inward through your mind
External forces slow you down
So inner strength you find

First you take a tiny step
Next you make it two
Keep stringing them together now
That’s all you need to do

The road is long and tiresome
Know this to be true
If you feel locked inside a cage
The key is always you
