The road is long

Life is a journey,
The road is long,
The world tells me to stop,
But I want to get to the top,
How do I get there?
Why do my legs end up in a snare?
A voice from my heart keeps getting louder,
Inch by inch it calls me yonder,
It tells me to keep moving,
It tells me to keep going,
As the years go by,
I might laugh or I might cry,
I have to keep up with its pace,
And the distance I have covered will give me solace,
Life is a journey,
The road is long.....
