A man walking a lonely path…searching, yearning.

You walk the earth
All alone
A solitary man
On a solitary journey
Walking a lonely road
A drifter
Drifting endlessly
Searching for something
A purpose?
A higher calling?
Or is it a friend?
Someone to call home
Someone to have and hold
Someone to love
Boy, do you know where you are going?
Or what you are looking for?
What do you hope to find?
At the end of the road?
The streets are empty
The winding roads long
Your body worn
Your spirit weary
Yet you keep walking
A hope burning in your heart
A hunger feeding your soul
You are driven by a vision
Fueled by an intense yearning
For something so unspeakable,
For something more…
Boy, do you know where you are going?
Or what your heart is seeking?
What do you hope to see?
When you wake from your dream?
You’re a wandering warrior
A soul tortured by life
A restless spirit constantly tested
Always fighting to stay alive
In this world of shattered dreams
Yet you are a man who endures
Driven by something so unimaginable,
Something so unspeakable,
That it takes your breath away
Boy, do you know where you are going?
Or where you are wandering to?
What do you hope to find?
When you meet your destiny?
In this endless maze
Of chasing fantasies
You falter and fumble
Struggling to find
What your spirit screams
Yet there is a clamor
Deep within you
Refusing to die
For what you seek
No one can ever take away
Boy, take my hand
For I will take you where you need to go
Taking you higher,
Taking you home
