Alek Vila : Lyrics
One More Step
Under stinging sun,
I'm making tracks.
I can read my trail
when I'm looking back.
I hold my soul
in the palm of my hand.
I'm dropping pieces as I go
across the land...
and up ahead–
the unknown–
silent and patient...
guarded and free.
With one more step
it unfolds,
but it holds me back.
Yeah, it holds me back.
With hardened heart,
under wrinkled skin,
my mind is the shelter
I take comfort in...
and as things spin
I’ve set my pace.
Gonna forage forward
to a greater place.
and up ahead–
the unknown–
faceless and ancient...
waiting for me.
With one more step
it unfolds,
but it holds me back.
yeah it holds me back
When the sun goes down
on a peaceful night,
stars wink at the Earth
with their glimmering light.
As my weary shell
is laid to rest,
I take in strength
for this mortal quest.
And up ahead–
the unknown–
silent and patient...
guarded and free.
With one more step
it unfolds,
and you can't go back...
no, you won't go back.
