I set out for a walk in the morning sun with my fellow man
To feel a limitless joy in the light I own but it was neither mine nor his
A few steps more to feel the land that belongs to me yet after me it’s neither mine nor is his
For more I walk and the air I breathe it feels a little less mine as is his
Yet we move ahead in arms with a mellow hope that what’s ahead is a bit belonging to us both
Just a mere mile more and we see, nor air nor water nor sand is me
So what is and what not but hope or despair we seekÂ
Oh what fools we are to think we own a bit
Or bite or a speck of the world we see
It owes us, yet indebted we feelÂ
All I can give back is a promise of hope, a grain of gleeÂ
If we stick together , a tomorrow it will be . Nor dark nor light but a bit of our own , ours and mineÂ
That we may call our destiny
