Worth the Miles

I've walked through cities Made of glass and smoke Heard a thousand promises Already broke Every face was rushing Somewhere far away Like hope had packed its bags And couldn't stay

I've seen strangers fighting Over little things Their lips were fire But I heard no sound The truth was written In their restless eyes In every line Their anger left behind

I walked right through That silent scene Where every gesture Echoed like a cry Sometimes the loudest words Are never heard They're written on the faces Passing by

One open door One honest smile Can change the story For a little while

Maybe that's what Keeps me moving on Through every night Until the break of dawn I'm not chasing dreams That fade with time I'm looking for the hearts That still can shine

If I find just one It's worth the miles Worth every road Worth every trial

Maybe the world isn't as lost As it wants us to believe

An old man shared his coffee In the rain A little girl laughed away A stranger's pain A hand reached out When nobody had to Small things somehow Still break the truth through

Heroes rarely wear A crown of gold Most of them will never know They're bold They're just ordinary souls Passing by Keeping forgotten stars alive

If kindness disappears Then what are we becoming

If hope is only borrowed Who will light tomorrow

So I'll keep walking Even when the road grows cold Because somewhere Someone still chooses Love over fear

Maybe that's what Keeps me moving on Through every night Until the break of dawn I'm not searching For a perfect life Just people keeping Little flames alive

If I find just one It's worth the miles Worth every scar Worth every climb

One small light Can outshine endless dark

And maybe

Maybe that's enough To keep believing
