It was already late
enough,and a wild night
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones
But little by little
as you left their voices behind
the star began to burn
through the sheets of cloud
and there was a new voice
whivh you slowly
recognized as your own
that keep you company
as you stode deeper by deeper
in the world
determined to do
the only thing you could do--
determined to save
the only life you could save
