lyrics

Heavy things pushing me
Walls far as I can see
It can be hard to deal
Each and every day

But there won’t be surprise
If with two open eyes
I see things as they’re really drawn
While on the way

Often I wish for things
Different from what life brings
And even that’s just one
More thing to parlay

It may seem hard to do
And yet I always knew
It’s led to all I’ve undergone
While on the way

Sometimes I feel I’ve
Gone off track, then I see
If it’s not my track
Then whose else could it be

Though the path here was set
What’s ahead isn’t yet
The course can always bend
Anytime I say
Each night will always end with dawn
I’m on the way
