Steps lyrics

So much treading upon the stairs

No one can recount their number

But those who take account

To grieve and complain so

Never reach the top landing

Always viewing the next step

Only grasping the handrail

With a grip wrenching, immovable

Their voice griping in effort

And a gaze downward ever

Trudging footsteps labored so

No mechanical ease to summit

Yet there are those who would not

To take notice of the effort made

To reach the elevations incurred

For there is a joy in the journey

An adventure on the track upward

Its pleasure in the ascension

The pinnacle though seldom seen

Too many give up or lose their way

For sojourning is a lengthy trek

And character is wrought in toils

Toils elevating to a different view

A divine panorama of magnificence

An ethereal visage grand

That wrought perspective unearthly

And measures of importance seen

Upon a variable value scale unkept

Evenly balanced upon the landing

Still climbing up the steps
