Taken Steps

I wandered through the streets
Took a turn I knew so well
But I saw a new street
More beautiful than any I'd seen before
Whilst walking it became colder
Till someday there was a storm
And once again I wandered
Where was I going to

Waking up after the storm
This street was covered
I could no longer pass through
As the sun was rising on the other side
I tried to recall the streets mapped in my mind
To get to where the sun had arose

This city with all its streets
On every corner another story
This city in which I wander
Without maps I'm good to go
This city never sleeps
And the silence never creeps

I wish I hadn't wandered so much
I wish I'd looked around
Cause now I was in a place
That I would never be found
The storm destroyed every map
So I went looking for every piece
Until the bitter end I would seek

This city with all its streets
On every corner another story
This city in which I wander
Without maps I'm good to go
This city never sleeps
And the silence never creeps

Oh it was worth the risks
Its darkness and mysteriousness
Its beauty and wildness
But maybe next time I'll use a map
Created by the wisdom I now have
Out of
All these taken steps

This city with all its streets
On every corner another story
This city in which I wander
Without maps I'm good to go
This city never sleeps
And the silence never creeps
