Awakenings

Needless to say, another day has passed away Yet everything, and nothing, has changed Awake I lie, my thoughts get lost up in the sky Needless to say, nothing will change... Maybe a mystic - with fortunes to tell... Surrender my coin at the old wishing well... Maybe the stars will align in the night... To show me the path that is right 'Would've been's and 'could've been's They waste my days away The colors of my life dissolve and fade to gray So many paths of promise Indecision poisons my mind If only I had seen the signs - so blind Yet I must journey on - on and on A haunting vision torments me It smothers and steals my dreams I see an old man in the mirror Cold and bitter starring back at me Here I am - at the crossing of life I stand On my own - looking down the road Hear my cry - answer me Still I'm searching yet the truth is unknown - though the night is cold I walk the road alone
