| I'VE COME THIS FAR |
| Nothing seems certain anymore on the avenue of life As I travel the yellow brick journey I long for the black and white Never would I have predicted the twisted and gnarled trails that intersect my boulevard and bring me to derail Dark and narrow corridors Dank alleyways and curves There is no turning back allowed Barely any room to swerve Based on life expectancy I'm only halfway there With melancholy in my wake to go forward, do I dare? If I had known my future then I couldn't have gone forth Aware of what I would endure Just to experience growth So blind me to the future and bind me to my dreams Find me on a shady lane squinting through sunbeams The unknown is my friend, you see when it comes to earthly tests I've come this far on my odyssey I'm sure I'll survive the rest |
