Still

Sometimes dense shadows 

Dim out the light

Catch ourselves staring at the sun too long 

It messes with our sight 

Vision blurred 

Everything seems obscure

Walking through life blinded

But I will keep walking ...

On towards the light 

I will follow the sunrise

With nothing but the wind on my back 

And dog at my side 

Life keeps moving 

Whether you want it to or not 

Everything you think you are

Crumbles right in front of you

Because you are who you are 

All you can give is a rusty, bruised, heart

Til you see it isn't good enough 

Til you hear

The voice inside you saying,

"Just give up..."

The past beats on you, hard as the late August sun

Tired and conquered 

By a hopeless hope

That someone would somehow see

past the dirt, 

past the countless scars

Past these tears that keep surfacing 

To see the real me

But I will keep walking ...

On towards the light 

I will follow the sunrise

With nothing but the wind on my back 

And dog at my side 

Yes... I’ll keep going on

Towards the light ...
