"This Road"

This road I travel is dark and long
With many twists and turns.
And even though I may act strong,
With every step, my soul burns.
Turn the corner, turn the page,
I see you standing tall.
A new act begins on lifes grand stage,
Will you catch me if I fall?

(Chorus)
This road twists, a turn of fate,
Come with me, it's not too late.
Travel this dark road of your soul,
Together, we will face the cold.

Time has passed, you have gone,
I travel alone, you have moved on.
I carry with me a memory,
I follow the road to eternity.
A new traveler passes me by,
I slow and I watch her sit and cry.
I take a seat next to her,
What dark memories haunt this traveler?

(Chorus)
This road twists, a turn of fate,
Come with me, it's not too late.
Travel this dark road of your soul,
Together, we will face the cold.

I lift my hand to comfort her,
She shakes her head and sighs.
She raises her face, begins to stir,
She glances at me with tear-stained eyes.
No words are spoken, her gaze says it all.
She has grown tired of the pain.
As she slowly rises, stands so tall,
Her voice echoes through the rain.

(Chorus)
This road twists, a turn of fate,
Come with me, it's not too late.
Travel this dark road of your soul,
Together, we will face the cold.

A simple question, seven small words,
Spoken by this traveler.
The road of life has eroded her soul,
She feels trapped in this bottomless hole.
Her voice rings out, repeats the plea,
A desperate cry of misery:
"Will you catch me if I fall?"
Her voice seems so meek, so small.

(Chorus)
This road twists, a turn of fate,
Come with me, it's not too late.
Travel this dark road of your soul,
Together, we will face the cold.

I lift my hand to her dark eyes,
Slowly brush away the tears.
She leans into my touch and sighs,
I have put to rest her fears.
We now travel the road together,
And although my burden is strong,
I will never abandon her,
Heads raised, we walk on.

(Chorus)
This road twists, a turn of fate,
Come with me, it's not too late.
Travel this dark road of your soul,
Together, we will face the cold.
