Step after step, wide views and dense forests Until you must rest, because your feet hurt
Pick a marked trail, or cross through a meadow Nobody with you, besides your own shadow
The sun greets you, bright skies awake you Woodland, villages, dark rivers to cross
You follow the rhythm, nothing to stop you The whispers of nature, will guide you along
Walk mile after mile, a stick in your hand A hiker's mile is a special mile, it lasts as a memory
Until there's the moment, you don't feel the legs They merged with the mind, and you have calmed down
Relieved all the stresses, and gone is the frown
And once you return, to the village at sunset It's like the sun cries, and gives its last heat
Golden tears, golden hours They smoothen the soul
A sip of cool water, and feeling revived You'll be in good spirits
It's what hiking does
