No Expectations

I have no expectations I just do the best I can.
Sometimes I awake at night wondering who I am.
The light begins to falter as I slip into the dark.
I feel the void grow larger my soul it seems to mark.

Take me to a station place me on a train.
As the rain still falls it erases all the pain.
I step into the car I don’t know where I’ll go.
The more I see in life the less I seem to know.

The train leaves the station hope is packed on board.
I look into the distance my happiness I should afford.
I wonder where I’m going even if I’m on the track.
I find that once you get this far there is no turning back.

The sun begins to set as I head into the night.
The moon and stars like my hope are shining bright.
I head into this tunnel and wonder of the other side.
I tire from this journey it has been a long hard ride.
