How many steps must I take
How many feet must I walk
How many stairs must I climb
Until I find the answer that I stalk

How many miles must I travel
How many journeys must I take
How many shoes must I wear
Until that truth I finally awake

How many blocks must I run
How many corners must I turn
How fast must I really be
Until that answer I finally do learn

How many doors must I knock upon
How many calls must I make
How many thoughts must I think
Until I find the answer with no mistake

How many stairs must I climb
How many rivers must I cross
How many lands must I visit
Until I find the truth that has been lost.

How many dreams must I have
How many places must I go
How many paths must I walk down
Just to find the truth, that I wish to know.
