We Set Out On The Gravel Road Poem by Alan Mills

We set out on the gravel road

We set out on the gravel road before it turned to mud
We heard our hearts were beating and we felt the pumping blood
It was never going to be an easy journey that we started on that day
But the end was getting closer as we finally found the way

Chorus:
Take your friends and set out walking
Hold their hand and keep on talking
Every step you take is like a chapter in a book
Lift your eyes to see the skyline
Hold your face up to the sunshine
The world is yours – so go and take a look

And our feet were finding rhythm as we strode along our road
All our voices joined in singing as we shared the heavy load
The souls who walked beside us would be there at journey’s end
And the road snakes out before us – up the hills and round the bend

Chorus:
