Train
Cought a ride on a train
Just to get out of the rain
Love to hear that sound
But I have found
It just leads to more people down the track
Panic attack
Today
I have a place to stay
I do not like to live this way
Health is bad
Kinda sad
Lived my own way
In life I never wished to stay
Passing through
Is all I seem to do
Do not wish no one any harm
All life has its own charm
But you are quick to harm me
Seems how my life was meant to be
Can you not see
I seek only what I can not find
Peace of mind
A home
Getting to old to roam
Have traveled far
Can not even afford a car
I carry all I have everywhere I go
Cause I know
Everything I have ever had
And this is sad
You people take
I choose trust, a bad decision to make
You make my soul shake
Makes a tear
For each year
I have been on the road
Carrying my load
Time doesn't fly
And we barely get by
Makes me feel hate
Do not wish for that fate
I care not for getting you back
I have no need to attack
As I walk away
You have home to stay
I have just me
Yes I'm exactly what it is you see
From this life I wish to be free
I choose to walk away
So have a nice day
I can see you smile
All the while
Behind your back is a knife
Cause you are part of the strife
This is my life
I have no home
So I roam
But I can see
How things really be
Cannot be a part of your hate
I have changed my fate
So I walk away
Must be nowhere left to stay
I walk my own path now
I am still learning how
My life is the rhyme
I ask no one for a dime
Is this a crime
Must be so
Everywhere I go
It is the same
Guess no one is to blame
So much hate
Of late
Does not matter
My wallet does not get any fatter
My legs grow weak
Sometimes my eyes leak
At what I have saw
Hate should be against the taw
Hate is humanitys main flaw
Heart grows bad
No, I am not sad
I have had enough
Tired of being tough
So away from people I stay
It is the only way
So far I have come
Forgotten where I came from
I am better off than some
I have me
So much of life I did not see
Learned to live as one with the land
Something I well understand
The animals wild as they be
Are just like me
Just wanting to be free and alone
But what life has shown
Love is no longer grown
So I will stay
Away
Maybe someday
Things may change
Rearrange
Hate is a sin
I hope it does not win
