My Path

You were given a life to die for
In a time when all we do is fight
If heaven is truly the destination 
Then the journey will be alright

I've clouded my judgment with self-loathing 
Decisions were made from self-doubt 
But life has a way of showing
The way in the darkest of nights

Money may not be abundant 
Your wealth may come from inside
You walk a road of solitude
With fleeting memories of being socialized

If heaven is truly the destination 
Then this journey will be alright
For the lesson I've learnt in a lifetime 
Out weights the failures I hide

I now see the world evolving
From within the dark and the light
Both are just as important 
For they make the day then the night

And I don't want the world to see me
But I need them to understand 
The path that leads us to heaven
Has always and forever be within
