Looking back down
The road I’ve been
Always knowing I could
Be there in a second
That place I’ve been.
So sad to know
So sad to be
Looking back down
The road I’ve been.
Don’t look back
Turn around and see
A new road
Opening up for me.
Full of promise
Full of majesty
Heartbreak gone
Back down the road
I’ve been.

So what is it that’s so important?
What makes you strive to be the one you want to be?
The one you need to be?
Is your goal, your need empty?
Or do you fill it with promise?
Does it matter?
Your goal, your life needs to be
It is important
It does matter
It is not empty but filled to the brim with promise
Must be strived for
You can be the one you need to be.
That is important.

Spring has come and sweet blossoms blow
On a gentle breeze full of promise
Creating magic in this that could be
A nursery rhyme.

Did you see the night?
Did you see it as it crept
Atop of daylight
Covering each day
With darkness of the night?
Did you see the night?
Morose and sad
Bleeding sympathy to the mad
Whispering night floating through
Corridors filled with sounds
Made to scare, do beware.
Did you see the night?
As it gently held lost souls
Til daylight could unfold
Washing ‘way cold misery
Never to be told.
Yes, I have seen the night
Soft and full of promise
Stars twinkling
In bright nightlight
I did, I did see the night.

Solitary sweetness
Belief in the master plan
Smiling quietly as travelling
Down the path that expands.
Into a meadow
Full of promise and grace
Giving a chance at a life
With no mistakes.
Solitary time
Guided thru rhyme
Hearing the way
Of the master
Guiding with a master plan.
Never alone
On this solitary journey
Always there
With the master
Leading, guiding hand in hand.

Looking back down
The road I’ve been
Always knowing I could
Be there in a second
That place I’ve been.
So sad to know
So sad to be
Looking back down
The road I’ve been.
Don’t look back
Turn around and see
A new road
Opening up for me.
Full of promise
Full of majesty
Heartbreak gone
Back down the road
I’ve been.
