walked a long way alone

on this winding road of unknown

footsteps echoing in the silence

searching for a place to call my own

the sun has risen and it has set

many times upon my head

each day a journey a new quest

with just my thoughts as my best friend

walking alone but not afraid

my heart's the compass it won't fade

though the path is long and wide

I'll keep on going with my pride

I pass by empty fields and towns

where memories seem to drown

the wind whispers secrets in my ear

but I keep walking without a tear

the stars above are my night light

guiding me through the darkest night

I've seen the beauty I've seen the pain

all part of this long solo vain

walking alone I'm not alone

the dreams inside me they have grown

know the weather what the distance be

I'll find my ways eventually

there were times I thought of giving in

when the road seemed too hard to win

but deep inside a voice would say

keep walking don't go astray

walking alone not in vain

every step is a new domain

I walked a long way alone

and now I'm closer to my home

oh yeah
