Golden Steps

[cosmicconfusion]

I am what I am
but that's not all I can be
When looking within
many changes plain to see

But just as the sea changes
so the tides will turn within
When looking for that higher ground
beneath this sullen skin

I promise that I won't look up
until the sun is high
I'll never count the steps I took
I wouldn't want to try

And even if to me tomorrow
the same toil brings
You'll find that I'm still nigh the first
prisoner who sings
