Escape
Along the ocean I walk
Picking up stones along the way
Each one representing a soul
Who is no longer here today
Seeing how the memories fade
A tear comes to my eye
Soon I will be like a rock
With no one to mourn or cry
As the sun sinks into the sea
I continue down the waters bend
Darkness takes over the sky
An I hear the voices in my head
Telling me they could lead
Me to a better place – I shall go
Alone at peace I could be
No one would know
There I went – the place of happiness
The answer to end my fears
No longer did I walk along
No more were the tears
For in the water the voices said
Is where I wanted to be
The strong currants over my head
Brought me to the place
Where I could finally be free
