Life Is a Journey
Why do sad tears come to me at night? Life is a journey,
is that my beloved in the light? Life is a journey.
Oh, turn back the pages of the tangled path I have lived,
from a small girl it has been a fight! Life is a journey.
In dreams I see the beautiful faces of the long dead,
I should be scared as it is a fright! Life is a journey.
Come, my ghosts whisper soft to me, your lips we want to kiss,
when I try to hold them- they take flight! Life is a journey.
Down a long winding road I bring red roses for the dead,
and that evening, I will sadly write! Life is a journey.
I am heartbroken but I can still fly and soar up high,
I can go to an amazing height! Life is a journey.
