Path of Life

There’s nobody left that can feel the tide As the world draws a breath and reshapes our minds Nothing to see when we try to hide Because nothing will be if we close our eyes Not much to say when there’s nothing left Now we’re talking away as the shadows set Where we all pretend that we have our breath And we decide that none of us knows what’s best There’s nobody left that can hold their path Since the fear decided that it would last Nothing to come if we hold what’s passed Because nothing can grow when we’re falling back So much to be when we turn away Becoming much more to create the day Where everyone knows that we must repave The path we deceived at the sight of pain There is only us and what we create As the earth sings the song of its timely fate Reflecting a message that most sedate And creating the pain that we have of late The circle of truth that we have deprived From ourselves feeding pain as we bring the night There is only us and what we decide And waking to that is the path of life
