Walking Toward the Mystery

I am walking toward the mystery

And I am walking slowly

I am in no hurry anymore

For I see both the known

And the unknown

My judgment is sound

And my aims are true

I feel my feet

When I am walking the silent watch

But if you need to cross a river

And it seems too hard to do

Then call on me

And I'll gather my strength

We’ll find a way

Let me tell you something

For I see doubt in your eyes

believe me, my dear child

That now I am old,

I finally see that

Mine is the dark night

And also the moon

And when glimmering pathways

Appear on the river

My boat just follows

Life is that simple

Now I am walking toward the mystery

And I am walking slowly.
