if i can't be a sunrise,
then i'd rather not be at all--
if i can't be a story or a song or a truth.
the music doesn't lie, it climbs
right up into my heart and sets the motions moving:
you are history,
i am trying to progress.
and each step that i take is a promise
to myself and to the path
that i'll continue, that i'll make this
someplace worth going, something worth seeing.
if i can't be a sunrise,
then there is nothing to be at all
and the path was not worth taking
and the strides were not worth making.
