Iron straps across his chest
He will never stop to rest
Heavy steel on velvet green
The strangest sight you've ever seen
Carry the weight on the black moss road
Walking alone with a golden load
Waterfalls crash in a silver spray
Moving the mountain one step a day
Volcanic stone beneath his boot
Deep inside the ancient root
Towering rig of copper wire
Burning with a steady fire
Carry the weight on the black moss road
Walking alone with a golden load
Waterfalls crash in a silver spray
Moving the mountain one step a day
Mist is clinging to his skin
Where the jagged cliffs begin
One slow breath in every stride
Nowhere left for him to hide
Carry the weight on the black moss road
Walking alone with a golden load
Waterfalls crash in a silver spray
Moving the mountain one step a day
Glassy beads of morning dew
Turning everything to blue
Metal creaks a rhythmic song
Dragging all the burden along
Lifting the frame to the open sky
Watching the heavy white gulls fly by
Tension is tight in the braided rope
Holding the line on a sliver of hope
He sees a face in the valley low
Waiting where the wild lilies grow
Two quiet souls in a sudden gaze
Lost in a humid summer haze
Carry the weight on the black moss road
Walking alone with a golden load
Waterfalls crash in a silver spray
Moving the mountain one step a day
Step by step on the black moss road
Lighter now with a shared load
(One step a day)
(Just one step a day)
