Walk On

Last…
Now that I can see
The future
Ain’t what it used to be
Like a poet
Without vision
An object of mockery…
A dreamer who lost his dream
To reality
Won’t give up
Though the going’s slow
I’ll trade all my footsteps
For a shot at tomorrow
Tattoo my intentions
Across these streets of time
And fight till the future
Is once again mine
'Cos I’m the immortal
Baptized in fire
Unable to die
Unless I desire
I’m the light
Piercing the darkest dawn
I’m the human spirit
Walking on
I’m down
And so close to out
I’m the foot soldier
Who suffered the rout
But I’ll stand again
In conquest of pain…
To walk on
As a king among men
I’ll make mistakes
Of that I’m sure
Lose my strength
When I need more
Taste my fear
In life’s battlefields
But I won’t trade
My sword for the shield
'Cos i’m the immortal
Baptized in fire
Unable to die
Unless I desire
I’m the light
Piercing the darkest darn
I’m the human spirit
Walking on
