Stretching forth my hand, I sense more perilous days ahead.
Though this does not prevent me from taking another step forward...
In hopes of reaching the one place where I have always longed to be.
Up there in the Holy City, where there are no grievances, illnesses, sorrows, or worries.
Up there in the Holy City, where there is no reason to complain or mourn.
Up there in the Holy City, where genuine bliss and serenity can be found.
Whatever betide, my eyes are fixated solely on the prize.
