Pathway
Wishing upon a star
Distance seems so far
Miles ahead of me
To far to see
Dreams that are on their way
But meant for another day
Heart longing for affection
But feel I need protection
Love given to fast
Doesn't seem to last
Lessons of the past
Is it worth the pain
The stain
Lost in what to do
Will love grow
Cause I don't know
The pathway is unclear
I fear
The future is left unknown
The pathway lies yet un shown
Over grown
Eyes that are blind
See Only what's been left behind
Not what lies ahead
May fill them with dread
Would you still go
Still grow
Follow a path no one else wants to try
I may just fly
I may just cry
Time will tell
If I did well
Long as you give your best
You pass the test
If you didn't try
Then you have reason to cry
