The Journey – 24.08.2013
When I’d arrived here I was quite sure of myself
As the times passed through and the days got longer,
I learnt a few things - when you know its cold out there, you know what to wear
Cos that’s what your instincts told you in the night, something you’d never learned
And now when I am alone
Longer than I thought I’d known
Feeling the anger come and go like the wind and rain that pelt down
My insecurities are reigning, my fears just rising and all those bells ringing
And time to take a note
And when the world and its problems seem too large for you
And when the truth just keeps you from coming through
But you gotta prepare to get on with what you have to do cos
This Journey, This journey…
All I can think of now is breaking through and walking free
Mistakes you make, you pay for now, that’s life my old friend
My fears subsiding, my heart and soul aching
Is it the long road or the wrong that I’d chosen
And when the world and its problems seem too large for you
And when the truth just keeps you from coming through
But you gotta prepare to get on with what you have to do cos
This Journey, This journey…
When I felt I’d find someone
Thought I’d know and love somebody
Would you have ever thought of this
Now you’re a part of this story
That’s what you are here to do
It don’t matter if you don’t make it through or
That’s the purpose you’re goin’ through
It’s coming to a head now…
And when the world and its problems seem too large for you
And when the truth just keeps you from coming through
But you gotta prepare to get on with what you have to do cos
This Journey, This journey…
Who do you trust…
What do you believe…
How do you look to a better world…
Where do you lay your head and cry…
When is the right time to break out…
When is the right time to shout out
Cos all you gotta do is right now oh oh oh…yeah!
