The Destination
The destination is far
I can’t make it alone
I look up at the star,
My toes are so cold
But I have to keep going
I have no choice
I have to escape
But can no longer use my voice
It’s a 10 day walk
But it’s more than worth it
The destination is far
It’s closer than last
I ride on the saddle
Holding on tight
Sitting, looking, watching
Till the end of the night
I long for sleep
But it’s not my turn
It’s a seven day ride
But it’s more than worth it
The destination is far
It’s closer than last
I wait
I hear the familiar sound
I see the smoke
The cloud gets larger as it approaches
I climb on and sit
I relax as we role down the tracks
It’s a two day ride
But it’s more than worth it
The destination is far
It’s closer than last
I'm on my own
Nobody beside me
I go faster
Prices go higher
It’s my own vehicle
I go why, how, and when I want
It’s a day’s drive
But it’s more than worth it
