shining through storms,
one stands alone
against a tide of swelling pride
yet he won't budge, nor turn aside
but rather forward he treads
Stride by Stride
pushing into darkness,
forsaking all
--left behind
for he has chosen
to follow the call.

Bonds broken
shattered shackles remain
slavery's token,
now discarded,
No longer a servant
forced through a path
not a need for math
the answer's quite clear...

leave bindings of fear
step boldly on water

for surrendering
to cause so great
