Carry On
On this highway im just passing through
From the well of life I drew
For strength to carry my load
Seems so long , this road
The ties that bind
Makes one blind
So I find
Burdens I carry
At times , makes my mind scary
Trying to move ahead
Sometimes on thin ice I tread
Why ain't I dead
Lost to the years
In that river of tears
Beyond reach
Life can teach
Used to preach
One day
Lost my way
No longer did I care
Didn't dare
Memories of days gone by
Still can make me cry
Why to Didn't I die
Into the darkness sunk my mind
No life left to find
Got left behind
Lost to the river of pain
It held life in disdain
Life
Is the strife
No reason to go on but I do
Till the last breath has flew
Kiss off dew
Tis sad
Maybe a little bad
For that's the day I'll be again glad
All I have is my pen
Till then
Can't find
Peace of mind
Don't care
Don't dare
No, not fare
Tomorrow
Still sorrow
But I'll still be here walking foward
Ever towards
What I don't know
Tomorrow won't show
So I go blind
Hopefully someday to find
Something left behind
