Shadows To The Light

07 - Pathways

the path i walk is traveled
some footprints are like open pits
some steps as light as morning dew
some pick up where they left off
and some disappear never to be seen again

the path i walk has perils
broken bottles pouring out emotions
bags slowly dripping out like sand
the time i've spent has named it's price
and i can never buy it back again

the path i walk was lonely
but now the ranks are filling in
comrades against a common threat
poised for war, we do recover
and we never have to go back there again
