JOURNEY ON

The rugged trail loomed ahead
Daunting was the view
I turned around cursing fate
Mind settling on you…

Visions of a valley
Abundantly pristine
The melody through the leaves
Harmonizing with the streams

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Life is barren
Alone
A destitute horizon
A stark abandoned
Home
Do not be forsaken
Desire is not gone
You are resilient
Journey on
 ~~*~~

The passage hindered from departure
Deemed over in the thick
On the verge of completion
Disenchanted and sick

I found solace in the conquering
Of a demanding path
Damned the haunting demons
Choking on their wrath

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Be unrelenting in your venture
Obstruction’s but a ruse

No limits can exist
When the heart is true
Eden is your destination
It lies just beyond
The hell you must endure
So journey on…
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Life is barren
Alone
A destitute horizon
A stark abandoned
Home
Do not be forsaken
Desire is not gone
You are resilient
Journey on
~~*~~
