Alathea Album: What Light Is All About Track: Hike to Maine
Hike to Maine Lyrics
Gonna hike up to Main Along the spine of the Appalachians Gonna end up where the snow meets the sea The snow is beckoning me
No measure of water could quench this fire No mountain will get in my way I'm gonna hike to Maine
Gonna live my life like everyday is the trail Gonna prance along the ridges And wait out the storms in the shelter cause I know There's gonna be rough weather
No measure of rain will dry up my heart No cloud will make me stay I'm gonna hike to Maine
CHORUS: We're singing yeah One step at a time
Gonna plant my feet forward And vow not to ever look back with regret Cause there is nothing that I can't do Looking up and beyond myself The weight of failure won't weight down my pack I'll just take what I learn on the way I'm gonna hike to Maine
BRIDGE: When my tired bones need to stop and sit I will rest my weary head on my walking stick
This trial is not made of dreams I will never taste Life is so sweet I ate a bunch of berries while I walked today Tonight the stars will be my tent The sun will call me to wake I'm gonna hike to Maine
CHORUS
About this Song: We live four miles from the Appalachian Trail, which is a footpath that extends from Georgia to Maine and crosses our road at Iron Mountain Gap. When we're home, we spend lots of time on a small section of it, running, hiking, and walking the dog. But some people hike the entire trail in a few months --seems pretty impossible, but then, life does too, sometimes.
