Another Path

 

This road that we share
Filled with twists and turns
Brings passengers to their knees
As they see a world best forgotten
So far from their destination
They somehow keep on their voyage
Winters become colder and bitter 
Prairies turn into abandoned cities 
Oh but they keep on their journey 
Is it pride one may ask themselves 
 No it is a distorted glimpse of faith
 Left in the veins of all of us 
A hope that seems to slowly grow
Caught in the webs of despair 
They seek no pity from anyone
For the road they choose is
Not one that is easy to forget 
It is a road we seem to take daily 
One that makes boys into men
The one that makes the weak stronger
If this road had not been taken
Then imagine where you would be?
