The Hardest Path

There’s so much space to roam and yet you choose the hardest path 

There’s so much room around you and yet you choose the hardest path 

Life sings sweet melodies enticing you away and yet you choose the hardest path 

Desires surround you calling you to freedom and yet you choose the hardest path 

What are green trees and vibrant sunsets when the path to get there isn’t easy? 

What are lilting birds and sweet does when you see them through strain? 

Does water truly taste ever better when your breath comes in gasps? 

A voice speaks to you on the wind calling you home so you take the hardest path 

Golden streets await you on the other end so you take the hardest path 

Homesick for a home yet unknown so I take the hardest path
