We make the way by walking We make the way by walking We came away with nothing We ran from the home we've known Down the stairs, running, scared To face the great unknown We left the front door open No key for a souvenir Nowhere to go and all we know Is home will not be here The path remains unclear We make the way by walking We make the way by walking We left the well-worn circle We left the city lights Came up here where the air is clear And the stars are bright at night Maybe there's a distant valley Maybe it's a ways away We're all here on the new frontier Because we knew we could not stay Knew we could not stay We make the way by walking We make the way by walking I climbed a little bit higher Somethings you cannot unsee I walked a little bit further And the walking set me free Then you were walking with me And you asked if I knew the way I made you laugh When I said our path Might be a road someday Might be a road someday We make the way by walking We make the way by walking We make the way by walking Our steps are the votes we cast The crazy few that have seen this view May not be the last The way that a pilgrim travels Is to set out for parts unknown So if history's kind We're the ones who may find The way we all come home We make the way by walking We make the way by walking We make the way by walking We make the way by walking
