• One thousand miles,
    A journey I must walk,
    One day at a time.
    Even if my feet tire,
    Even if my legs quake,
    I must walk on.
    No matter what obstacles,
    Will hinder my oath,
    I will walk on toward it,
    Forward to my destination.
    One thousand miles,
    To what humans seek,
    A journey of a lifetime,
    Starting with a single step.
    The road winding out before,
    The miles slipping behind.
    Closer and closer I come,
    Peace is what I chase,
    Peace, safety, harmony, closure.
    What we crave, need.
    One thousand miles,
    To peace at long last.
