since i was a boy
i've walked without fear
into the wildest places
i've searched for signs of my existence
in the unbroken backcountry
sometimes under sunshine
and sometimes under shadow of death
i've sought but never found.
so although my eyes are still
unoccupied and wide
my mind still numb to risk and
consequence
and my hardheart still coldly
beating me alive,
today i'm in a different wild place
because this is the first one i've ever searched
with another seeker by my side.
