Hey we gotta hope forever
Bringing down the cold feel rain
Treading through the land unchartered
Searching for a touch of faith
Runaways from home afar
No destination in mind
Walking in peace together
Or maybe dying to give a fight
Gonna try, gonna pray, gonna live
Gonna lie, lie awake when it rains
Then when the rays of the sun hits the mount
We reach the shrine
Gonna climb the 18 steps to life
Mountain trip with million people
Walking up and down the ridge
Scorching heat and bare feet under
Paying for their sins or-is it pain
Calling out in this time of darkness
Waiting for the star to shine above
Screaming out your guts to glory
But silent in a trance of ecstasy
Gonna try, gonna pray , gonna live
Gonna find, find myself in this place
Then as we wait, his eyes open wide
We see the light
Reach inside
Found the high at the 18 steps to life
- A modern non religious song that propounds the realization that gets you when you climb the 18 steps of the holy shrine of Sabarimala and you find yourself.
