Brave this road

Yes Spring will come, but tell me

How far it is, how far?

My neighbour

We have come on this journey

Come through this season

This arduous journey

And suffering is our

Companion - but for how far?

Brave this road together we must

Through storm and rain

Sunshine and howl

But how far, how far

On these moon wreathed lanes…?
