Walking down a rocky road


Walking down a rocky road,
With darkness surrounding me.
Why do I feel like a captive,
When my heart tells me that I'm free?
Enslaved by the thought,
That the road ahead might be endless.
And the visions of the crowds,
laughing at my weary face?

All that I had owned went by
like the ticking hours.
What does one do when everyone betrays you?
When you've got nothing, and no one to turn to.
You just keep on walking.
And this song you just keep on singing.

Been walking all my life
with a determination in mind.
Working hard
through the distance of time.

Used to believe in myself,
and did what seemed right.
But the lines they are so hazy now,
Can't tell the wrongs from right.

Following the truth and never
turning to temptation from others,
Never turned like the many
often losing my brothers.

As they fall for the easy wrong,
I've been sticking to my guns
And time and again,
Proving that I'm strong.
