A song about letting go and open a new promising chapter in ones life without fear!
lyrics
‘Twould be a wildish destiny,
If we, who thus together roam
In a strange Land, and far from home,
Were in this place the guests of Chance:
Yet who would stop, or fear to advance,
Though home or shelter he had none,
With such a sky to lead him on?
What, you are stepping westward — Yeah
You are stepping westward
You are stepping westward — Yeah
You are stepping westward
The dewy ground was dark and cold;
Behind, all gloomy to behold;
And stepping westward seemed to be
A kind of heavenly destiny:
I liked the greeting; ‘twas a sound
Of something without place or bound;
And seemed to give me spiritual right
To travel through that region bright.
What, you are stepping westward — Yeah
You are stepping westward
You are stepping westward — Yeah
You are stepping westward
The voice was soft, and she who spake
Was walking by her native lake:
The salutation had to me
The very sound of courtesy:
Its power was felt; and while my eye
Was fixed upon the glowing Sky,
The echo of the voice enwrought
A human sweetness with the thought
Of travelling through the world that lay
Before me in my endless way.
What, you are stepping westward — Yeah
You are stepping westward
You are stepping westward — Yeah
You are stepping westward
