I’ve walked through life
Been down many roads
I have never found solice
…only burdening loads

Lost my way
…blind through
Never to find
…just one peaceful day
The forest is thick
…drowning me in
Trouble finding strength
…there is none within

That light up ahead
It cannot be
Always lost in the dark
…am unable to see
Find my way
…by stumbling
Crawling on my hands and knees
Never reaching a destination
…nothing accomplished
…nothing worth the journey

There it is again
…light
…haunting me
Toying and playing
…in my sight
I hide away from the teasing
…what cannot be

Crawl under the dirt
…never see day again
Cold and dark
Lost under this blanket
…of protective of leaves
…familiar keeping me warm
Alive
