Nothing
Seen the sun fall from the sky
Time and time I've wondered why
Storms gathering forming a mist
Stepping from somewhere in time, I've lost that list.
Turned away from all I adore
Wounded heart still seeking some more
Time stops before my eyes
It's always there no matter the disguise
Sun setting on another day
While I was trying to find the right words to say
Time went and left me behind
It alright cause it gave me some peace of mind
There away from what I thought was a must
I learned something about self trust
And it left yesterday in the dust
Sitting here watching the world pass on by
Does one even really want to try
The road can only take you just so far from yourself
Then you realize , love was greater than wealth
Bended back and tear filled eyes
Looking back you can see how time flies
Now in the mirror the gray haired old man looking back at me
Telling not only of the hard times I did see
But of the good times as well
Such a story that that reflection has to tell
Love hope and desire
Still burning from that inner fire
Standing in front of the doorway leading into tomorrow
Discarding any clinging sorrow
I step through that door and I can already see, looking back, everything was meant to be
All in all it really hasn't been that bad
Even with nothing so much I still had
