The Road Traveled

I'm casting shadows through the trees... There's no sunshine left to free... I'm casting shadows with no rain... There's no rainbows left to gain... I'm climbing ladders to the sky.... With no sadness just good byes... I'm climbing ladders to the stars... With no steps that keep me far.... I'm building bridges to your land... On the path will find our hands.... I'm building bridges far and wide.... On a surface far from lies.... I take my steps just like a child.... To close my eyes into the wild.... I take my steps far from sin.... To fight a fight that I must win...
