Vagabond
Old man vagabond searching for his home
Is this why you started to roam
Something in which you long ago lost
What was the cost
The price that you have already paid
Might of been easier should you of stayed
Maybe even prayed
Gone is the song
You held out so long.
They wonder why
You silently cry
You may have grown old
But your soul hasnt grown cold
Your fire still burns
For what, do you yearn
Dreams yet reached
Time has leached
The age, but not the dreams
You still search for it, it seems
What have you left behind
Do you think you will ever find
The missing part
A peace of your heart
Lost long ago
Don't you know
This is so
You can't go back
Time loses track
Nothing is ever the same
Is no one to blame
Time goes on before long
Just to began a new song
Haven't you found
That no one stays around
Always on the go
While you move so slow
Life can be kind.
Can't hit rewind
So live it now
Learn how
Before it's to late
And loneliness becomes your fate
Open that gate
That is you blocking your heart
From these chains you must partt
Time to learn to live
Learn to give
Never give in to the pain
Nothing you will ever gain
By giving in
You'll never win
