Looking to find

Walking down the road This time pulling my load Moving around Nowhere am I bound It is all the same, I have found Gathered some toys You know how it is with us boys If outside Is where I must abide Then I will do it right Be warm at night A new stove new tent A bit of money I have. Spent Can not carry stuff no more Can not lift it off the floor Got a wagon to pull as I walk With just my dog to talk I pull her along Listening to nature sing its song People pass me by To get a ride I do not even try Just going till I find a nice spot To cook some food nice and hot Pitch a tent and pull out my cot Never know how long I might stay Tomorrow is the same as today Nowhere I care to be So many things to see Keeping my chello dry When the sky Decides to cry Have all I need Since life planted this seed Solitude Just looking for different latitude The never ending search for what lies down the next road Easier now that I am pulling my load I wonder what I look for Not to be behind any locked door I wish to soar I wish to find Peace of mind The sound Of no one around Just a place to write I am the light I have no wish to fight Just to be free So much beauty to see Wish to see it all Can not do that behind a wall Where can I go That people won't show So I will keep walking Peace I am stalking How far I have gone The search is on For I seek Something of which I once had a peek. The land of no sorrow Which I will find some coming tomorrow So I keep going even knowing I walk alone Life has shown Love I have blown There is nowhere for me Not that I see But hope does remain I think I am insane Because I keep on trying Sometimes lost and crying My faith is never dying Leads my way Through each day Following the light This seems right Which road leads back to me That's where I need to be Looking to find This peace of mind So hard to find But it's is there Helps you to always care Keeps you going Cause your knowing Your faith is showing This light will lead the way Through the darkest of day Through this life so lonely Nothing I want but only My way home Before I can no longer roam So much to see along my way Making it through another day After all that this life has shown My love has grown Hope has not died Life has tried To darken my way Faith makes hope stay Keeping me going towards this unknown tomorrow I made it past the sorrow Every breath I take The decision I make To make it another day As I make my way Down this road Pulling my load
