Steppin’ Out

Moving leaves

On the breeze

Waking up

Out of sleep

Standing up

There’s the road

The one that leads to where

No one knows

And are you stepping out

Taking up life’s invitation

Are you checking out

Canceling your reservation in that

Hole beneath the floor

Passing fleets

Of changing views

You’re on your feet

With nothing to loose

Daughters of autumn

Are starting to grow

You hit the bottom

Long time ago

And now you’re stepping out

Taking up life’s invitation

Are now you’re checking out

Canceling your reservation in that

Hole beneath the floor
