The road of life-

People come
And people go
And the road of life
Is mine alone

Along I stumble
Sometimes I fall
There are times
That I Can actually run
But mostly
I walk--
I walk alone

I am here they say
But where?
Where are they?
This road is mine
And I walk alone

I have run
Until my breath is lost
I have skipped
And sighed
And cried
And fought
And now
I am fine
Because
This road
Is mine
And I walk alone-

And it is not me
That aches
Or breaks
For I am past that
I have made my peace
And now
All that remains
Is the walk
And I walk
This road
And I walk
Alone---

the road is mine..let me cherish it..
the walk is mine..let me stumble in every stride..
the fall is mine.. i wanna break free while it lasts...
yes i want to rise..but for the moment I will stall..
till peace sinks in.. till pain lets me be..till tears go away and I go back to breathe..
I walk alone..on this road that is mine..
I dance with angels.. sing to the crowds..
I smile to the demons..monsters buried deep..
Yes to you my friend.. i am fine..

and they say..
staying alone is not the way..
this loneliness will just not stay..
wrong you were then..
wronged you were then..
but time will make your heart sway..
this loneliness will go away..
it just wont stay..
