The River Of Time
It’s been a long, hard journey
To the man I am today
Although there are some that won’t agree
I would have it no other way
The oldest of five children
Together yet alone
Never felt like I belonged
Even safe at home
The night has always welcomed me
I’ve needed it to survive
A place of peace in darkness
To remind me I’m alive
Candle flames and midnight fires
Illuminate my tortured soul
Reflections of a lonely man
Raised on rock and roll
Drifting upon the river of time
Searching for my fate
Words propel the journey
Although I’m running late
It’s been a long, hard passage
I know it’s far from done
Halfway down this river
I’ve only just begun
