A soul’s journey
Starts in the dark
Like ink on paper
It leaves its mark
To experience the joy and pain
As paint on canvas
Causes a stain
Worn out like a piece
Of fine old leather
That shows all the lines and scuffs
The story of the wearer
What would we be
Without what we’ve endured?
I’m sure it went differently
Than what you have heard
Days of sheer heaven
Nights of pure hell
Tell me a story
I know all too well
Carry that burden
Both ways are uphill
Live out a lifetime
That’s long lost its thrill
You can carry on this way
If you must
Searching in vain for loyalty and trust
It seems inevitable to me
That you’ll discover it’s a fantasy
And only in your reflection
Will you see your new direction
Set the course
It’s up to you
There is no other way
You’re already moving on from here
For you know you cannot stay
If you look intently
You will surely see
What’s really going on
You’re creating everything
As you go along
Breathe in some truth and
Exhale all the lies
Try a different reality on for size
The soul’s journey will take flight
It has already begun
A story not left unread
A song not left unsung
