My path

Wrote for a friend

Stumbling down this street alone
I wonder what has brought me here
The skies ease open with a moan
I find my heart gripped in fear
The rain drops start falling slow at first
And then it starts to pour
I'm filled with a mighty thirst
The rain won't do, I need more
The promise of a happy life
Is that too much to ask?
The promise of no more strife
No more need for this mask
I used to think I had it all
And then came crashing down
But what did I really have
It was just a tin crown
The clouds roll out and the rain has stopped
The path is clear ahead
This new found life I must adopt
These old chains I will shed
Though I don't know where I'm going
And I don't know what I'll do
I think it's great not knowing
As long as I will be with you
