What Lies Ahead

So how does one pick themselves up from such a drastic fall How does one get out of a self dug earthen hole so small, There is no one here to hear me or guide me There is no one here to help me or set me free, So how do you get the courage and strength to look ahead To look past what kind and type of life that we led, Our hearts still and always will hold a sense of pureness to our changing existence Our blind faith and hope we fight within ourselves creates a world of resistance But yet we manage to look ahead down the weary road of change as we get up once again We stand up tall, brush the dirt from our tired exhausted bodies and walk through the pain, We walk down the path not knowing what lies down that long rugged terrain As we step with our hearts to guide us and our friends by our side we can finally let go of the pain.
