Distance shortens every step
Seeking visions quite unseen
He walks in sand of ankle depth
With quicksand drawing underneath
Underneath his aching feet
Precious life disappears
Each staggered inch becomes a foot
and every yard seems out of reach
Reach beyond your weariness
For yesterday was filled with sorrow
Use another ounce of strength
Lift yourself into tomorrow
Tomorrow holds no guarantees
And desert plains remain unknown
The search to find that bitter peace
In dreams are better left alone
